What do you say to a bus driver when you get on the bus?

Bus drivers tend to appreciate the passengers who get on the bus with their pass or correct money ready or at least know where they want to be so that you can tell them the correct fare. A quick hello or morning / afternoon will be fine when boarding and any version of thank you when getting off.

The answer is “on”! We get on or get onto a bus, train, subway, airplane, bicycle, and motorcycle. But we get in or get into a car, truck, or taxi. So use get on for mass public transportation, like buses and trains, as well as bicycles and motorcycles, where you are sitting on a seat but not in an enclosed space.

The answer is both are correct; to travel on a bus and to travel by bus mean the same thing. No matter which term is used, it simply implies that a person is using a bus to get from one place to another. However, the use of the preposition 'on' in to travel on a bus sounds more natural in English than to travel by bus.
