Have you ever tried using one? Most places are really hostile to them, especially the buses.

Really? I ended up with a couple of notes once, I was a bit worried about using it but the bus driver was just fascinated by them, very happy to see and accept them. They're very pretty, which I think takes the edge off the risk you take in accepting one.

I can imagine different reactions, of course!

Why would bus drivers specifically be hostile to them out of interest, it seems like it'd be no skin off their nose?

They apparently have to do some paperwork at the end of their shift and deposit the money differently. It probably does vary a lot from person to person and what routes they drive a lot though.

Not for a while, no. Last time I did around the Watershed they seemed okay about them, but I don't think I'd chance them on the bus :/
