noticed that you gave a stereotypical description of bus drivers in your question, which involves an evaluation of a certain group. In fact, many bus drivers are strictly trained and treat their work and passengers very professionally. Maybe you encountered an individual case, but it may not be fair to generalize. If your main demand is to keep quiet and reduce unnecessary chatter during the ride, here are a few suggestions you can try: 1. Prepare headphones in advance or play your favorite music/podcast: Wearing headphones can not only help you create a state of concentration, but also send a signal that "I am busy with my own things", thereby reducing the possibility of others talking to you. 2. Pack up your belongings and focus on your phone or book: When you are focused on reading or browsing your phone, people around you often realize that you are not willing to engage in small talk, so they consciously reduce conversation. 3. Keep a polite but brief response: If you encounter a driver or other passengers who take the initiative to talk, you can try to answer in a concise and polite way, such as "OK" or "I understand", and then turn back to your own business. This will not offend the other party and control the conversation time. 4. Use body language: Focused eyes and looking down at a phone or book can usually convey the message that it is "inconvenient to talk" and reduce the other party's willingness to take the initiative to talk. In short, no matter who the other party is, they usually have their own job responsibilities. If you want to enjoy a quiet time in public, the above methods may help. At the same time, when meeting people with different personalities or habits, maintaining a certain degree of patience and respect can also help maintain a good public communication atmosphere.
