A student in Milton Keynes, England paid a full bus fare for Marcus Fenix. No, really. Carrying home a life-size cardboard display of the Gears of War protagonist, Liam Sheridan was told by the driver his monthly bus pass didnāt cover his companion.
Sheridan, 17, was thus charged Ā£1.80 for a full adult fare on top of his monthly pass, after the bus driver insisted that his cardboard Marcus ātakes up a seat, so itās full price.ā
āIt was truly bizarre, I couldnāt quite believe it,ā Liam told the Milton Keynes Citizen. āI tried to protest but the driver wasnāt going to let me on otherwise, so I had to pay him.ā
The Citizen followed up with the transit authority, which said it wasnāt commenting until its investigation was finished.
