(Read in 2023) 3.5 stars. Well-written, low-key and mostly charming. I appreciated the narrator framing his driving as an artistic endeavor, and things being managed down to the minute, primarily in the hopes of creating enough time for a cup of tea in between runs. There is a bit of sexism evident, e.g. in the lack of women bus drivers overall, and in some of the male drivers' attitudes. Considering the amusing conversations among the drivers, I was thinking it would be fun to see this performed by actors.
