“Bus de nuit” (night bus), drawn by Floc’h, with a script by Jean-Luc Fromental, from a 1986 collection of comics set on buses sponsored by the Union des Transports Publics.

In the first two pages, the waiter figure is calling out imaginary stops, with “Terminus” being “end of the line.” His last speech I’d render: “It’s always the same… They love it so much they never want to stop… Well, let’s go, off on another ride!”
