Buswanker: The Hilarious Indignities Suffered By One Man on His Daily Commute To Work

by David Agnew

For twenty-five long years, David Agnew has survived one of modern life’s greatest the daily bus commute.

Packed in with drunks, weirdos, screaming schoolkids, militant pensioners, conspiracy theorists, and an alarming number of fanatical Cliff Richard devotees, Agnew’s journey from suburbia to the city becomes a rolling theatre of humiliation, absurdity, and barely suppressed violence.

Mistaken for an inanimate object. Trapped in conversations with lunatics. Forced to endure the strange rituals and unspoken rules of public transport. Every journey pushes him closer to the brink.

But beneath the polite exterior, something dangerous is stirring.

Part memoir, part social satire, and part furious comedic rant, Buswanker is a laugh-out-loud exploration of modern Britain and the everyday madness we’ve all learned to tolerate. Sharp, witty, and painfully relatable, it’s perfect for anyone who has ever suffered through a soul-destroying commute and fantasised about telling the world exactly what they think.

Get on board. Hold tight. And pray the bus never arrives.
