Centrebus is a bus company operating in and around several British towns, taking passengers from point A to point B at a pace barely faster than walking. Established in 2001, it has quickly taken over all competition bus and coach companies in central Britain, leaving no alternative for people who are too lazy to walk and too stupid to drive. In typical transport-company fashion, its CEO is a multi-millionaire who loves to annoy commuters with grossly oversized fares, slow buses, and gum all over the seats.
