I find that in town, almost nobody waves.  Occaisionally someone in a
split window bus will.  Out on the highway, I seldom pass a split or
Breadloaf that doesn't wave back.  When others post about people waving
or not waving, are they talking about in town or on the open road?  I
think it makes a huge difference.  It's much stranger seeing those old
busses so far away from the closest repair shop!
