In the West Midlands the security screens seem to be used as an excuse not to interact with the passengers, although here in security-screen-free Lincolnshire anything much more than a grunt is exceptional.
It can be done, though: I picked up a Northern (Go Ahead) bus in Durham last month, on my way to Beamish Museum, buying an Explorer ticket - it seems something no longer sold all that much to judge by the drivers' reactions each time I get one. I said thank you to the driver when he gave me my change, and he replied "You're welcome", and was equally polite to the other passengers boarding en route.
Unfortunately the driver of the next bus had difficulty with anything more than a grunt for the passengers, although she was very talkative with another driver travelling back to the depot!
Yes it's the same with a woman on the self-check payout in Sainsbury's she's so impolite unhelpful and bossy but when one of her work mates come across for a few words I'm surprised she doesn't offer them a piece of cake. Perhaps exception proves the rule but a lovely Arriva driver stopped for me yesterday and I had been planning to walk. But our Independent D&G are pretty good and some drivers drop me closer to the house and one of the less pally drivers did at least tell me the bus would not be running passed my house tomorrow.
