How do you tip a bus driver?

Do I have to tip my bus driver? While it is not required, leaving a tip for your driver is always encouraged and appreciated, especially if you're happy with the service you received. We suggest that you bring 10-15% of your rental cost in cash and give it to your driver at the end of your trip.
