At first, passengers didn't realize the man wasn't a bus driver, McKenna said. But when he started making some wrong turns, they started asking him questions and one gave him directions to return to the scheduled route.

He even went as far as to deny someone looking to board with an expired bus pass," police said in the news release.

The absolute legendary irony of the man stealing a bus but denying a rider with an expired pass. “Sorry bud, I dont make the rules” Im dead

"of no fixed address" is the most asinine way of saying homeless I've ever heard.

I really hope that doesn't catch on like "unalive"

It is actually an old and well established britishism

NFA doesn't mean on the streets.

Live in a van? NFA

Couchsurfer? NFA

It just means they aren't registered at an address, such as being on the electoral role.

I have the local jobcentre as my registered address as when I'm back in the UK I live between my van and various Travelodge for work.

Am I homeless? No

Homeless doesn't automatically mean you live on the streets; "having no fixed address" is the definition of homeless, which is why it's asinine.

It's like calling them 'casual denim trousers ' instead of 'jeans'.

Why say lot word when few word do trick?
