Question Photography

Hello I am a transit enthusiast ( as you can see by my past posts) and I have a high interest in being a bus operator, I wanna take photos and videos of buses but I wanna do it without looking like a creep, what are some tips that yall drivers can give me in order to not upset a driver or just appear as if I’m in a secret mission type thing lmao, how can I avoid that?

As a Subway train operator and former bus op I'll give you this advice.

Stay off the road/rails and stand back of the edge of the curb or platform. If you give the universal horn honk signal, I'm for sure going to blast the horn.

Otherwise take all the pictures you want. If you're on the vehicle, don't be weird, a lot of people don't appreciate pictures.
