Have a friend in the coach industry who not only loves the coach and bus simulators, actively sought out mods that let him drive areas in the UK that he drives on a daily basis

We politely refer to him as a bus wanker, and he politely agrees!

He sounds like a guy whose bus schedule is on time.

No one driving buses is on time, the traffic is just god awful

Some other fun points, he bought a Dart bus and converted it into his own RV, and has a Smart two seater car spray painted like one of those kids garden toys

Eccentric fellow, but a pleasure to interact with

There was an autistic man who used to impersonate bus drivers, and other public transportation drivers. He was remarkable, because he ran the routes with precision and on time. He even sometimes did minor repairs on the vehicles.

Then there is the 14 year old Norwegian kid who just joy rides buses.

Yup, I am Norwegian, so I am aware of that guy. He's stolen another one since that article. At four now, I believe.

I think you're talking about Darius McCollum. It's actually kind of a fucked up story. The transit authority wound up pressing charges for theft because he kept "stealing" buses and he wound up in prison. He's apparently been moved to a psychiatric facility, so he doesn't have to be around violent criminals anymore, but he's still being deprived of his freedom because we (society) couldn't figure out a productive way to channel his talents.
