Fortnite Now Lets You Thank the Bus Driver

While normally petitions on Change.org aren’t worth paying much attention to, it seems at least one may have swayed the hearts of those targeted, with Fortnite Battle Royale now allowing players to “Thank the Bus Driver” before leaping out and doing battle.

The original petition on Change.org was first circulated in July, based on the “Thank the Bus Driver” meme that had circulated across sites such as Reddit and Twitter for some time. Extolling the virtue of being polite, the petition asked for Fortnite developers Epic Games to include some way for players to thank their virtual chauffeur before leaving the bus, something we should all be doing in real life too. Thanks to the latest patch to Fortnite, players can now thank their driver with the press of a button, the B key on keyboards and down on the D-Pad for controllers, before they resume their quest for Victory Royale.

That’s really all there is to say, make sure you thank your bus driver before taking the leap, and let’s keep manners and politeness for as long as possible. For more Fortnite action, check out the other changes that came with the most recent patch with our breakdown, here.
