When interacting with the bus driver, make sure to say only "Hallo" when you step in. Technically, this is even optional and only 33% do that.

When leaving the bus, don't say anything. It'd be weird.

And under no circumstances, talk to them between entering and leaving.

The only legitimate way to talk to them is when the bus stopped, you and the driver are both outside and he or she approaches you first.

Whoa there, overachiever. Saying "hello"? A curt smile, a slight nod and a passing glance. All things in moderation, after all.

Literally the opposite of Scotland. Must say thanks or cheers when leaving bus. Weird not to

This is like applauding the pilot after they do the absolute minimum of their job (landing the plane).......

Just common decently. Thanking a cashier. For doing their job. A sales person. A doctor/ nurse.

A cleaner. Just polite

Nah, when you are on a late night run on an (almost, max. 2 pax) empty bus, especially the last run, especially in shitty weather, it's appropriate to say "Nacht" when you leave.

You form a special bond then and there. The driver is your hero who brings you home in the most shittiest shift.
