singing is beneficial because it increases the intake of oxygen – it goes straight to the brain, making us feel renewed, refreshed and lighthearted. where better to sing your little heart out with likeminded folk than on a bus on a drab, wet and windy day.
each route will provide buses of each denomination,
which is indicated on the front board along with the final destination. even the atheists and agnostics will be provided for: perhaps something from a musical? the sound of music or the wizard of oz. perhaps on some days you might even catch an earlier or a later bus that caters for another religion, to broaden your spiritual education and awareness.
you may use the confessional at the back of the bus to relieve your conscience of such things as littering and fare dodging.

quite right - redundant. oh well the singing made me feel good for a while. |

Sort of baked every second Saturday on Glasgow's "Clockwork Orange" subway - the carriages are crammed with red-white-and-blue bedecked "football fans" on their fortnightly pilgrimage to Ibrox stadium to watch Rangers. The drunken journey is made all the more invigorating by dint of the quasi-religious sing song that takes place: "We're up to our knees in Fenian blood" etc. |

anything is better than rugby songs <blush> |
|
| |
Trust me, these songs aren't. |
|

Incidentally, I had a train carriage all to myself last night and quite happily sang along to the music on my walkman. Unfortunately, I was listening to instrumentals, so my singing was limited to less than traditional "poohm, woohhm bam backdickle-ack" type sounds. The ticket inspector looked at me somewhat askance. |
|
| |
I really like the idea, [po]. It was such an one as this day today. No sign of sun and I have yet to awake. I can understand why it's been thought of before, but why hasn't it been baked? |
|
| |
Ah yes [calum], I've been on that train. I never understood, since so many of these "fans" are so drunk, and the station at Ibrox has such a thin platform, why more of them haven't fallen onto the third rail yet? |

The Happy Clappy bus by day... |

The Slap-Happy Cuss Bus by night... |

Hey, there we go, I'll take a night ticket thanks! |

A choir I used to sing with once seranaded passengers on a bus on the way to a choral competition. A good time was had by all (well we didn't get any complaints). I'd very much enjoy this.. aint no such thing as too much singing. |
|
| |
Perhaps add karaoke equipment? Oh, and watch out for that guy in the blue trench coat - I just don't trust him. |
|
| |
Do not, however, operate at times when most of the passengers will be drunk and/or violent (Friday/Saturday nights) and perhaps not just religious - the musical idea was quite nice (for me, but not for everyone...) |

[punk_punker] Only yesterday I heard the Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sachs extoll the virtues of music on Thought for the Day . Why else would they have a cantor? |
