Which way is the bus going

[Kellfire]

This is unanswerable as too many assumptions have to be made. It's merely a test of someone's ability to reason. Those who are certain of an answer are showing themselves to be more narrow minded insofar as the scope of this puzzle goes.

The answer is quite simple - because a bus needs a door and the door is always on the side of the pavement

It's a simple brain teaser that should be read into too much

We don't know the width of the road or if it is one lane, multiple lanes, single direction, contraflow etc.

It's simple, yes; simple to see that it cannot possibly be answered without assumptions being made about certain things.

So no, there is no definitive answer for the picture you provided.

What if it's tour bus from abroad ?

I don't care, I avoid public transport at all costs:thup:

Especially buses. No first class on a bus..

There is no information in the picture to show that the bus is in a country that drives on the left side of the road.

Those of you who are saying "because we're in UK" are only looking at it from YOUR position, not looking at the picture in isolation.

I'm in mainland Europe, we drive on the right here, when I look at the picture, without the close up zoom in on the mudguards, there is absolutely no information to show which way the bus is travelling.

All irrelevant as its a bus and the door is in a specific area on the bus

 

[vkurup]

It is the Lib Dem party bus... so I guess it is going nowhere...
(plus it does not have a driver or anyone in it... so should be a Lib Dem bus... Q.E.D)

That doesn't answer the fact that there is no information in the picture as to which country the bus is in.

Then as already answered - if you drive on the left it's going right and vice versa.

So you have to assume the direction of travel. Puzzle is unanswerable.

Could be the Venga Bus in which case it's going to Ibiza.

It actually doesn't really look like it's on a road IMO, there are no kerbs to be seen in the distance either side of the bus and no line/s on the road, there are some bushes and if you look at them to scale, they are a long way back, so it looks like it's parked in the middle of a car park to me, so, the doors not being visible make no difference to me as to determine the direction, it's a nonsense.

Young kids always do better at these tests because they will make literal judgements and don't question what's given and look for real world details.

The 'stock' answer wants kids to notice lack of doors but not lack of emergency doors, driver, seats etc. etc.

 

[gregers]

or could it be the 'beatles bus' from the 60's?
if it is then its FLYING HIGH.:lol:

 

[backwoodsman]

I stand by my original comment.

In other words, it's Schrodinger's bus and until you go round the other side & look, it's going both ways.

 

[SocketRocket]

Doesn't matter to pensioners with Bus Passes as they don't know if they're coming or going!

 

[sawtooth]

Or the Wenger bus on its way to Wembley? (Again).
