Paul McCartney just loves to catch a bus
Sep 7, 2005, 13:29 GMT
Sir Paul McCartney loves using public transport.
The millionaire musician says he regularly hops on buses and trains if he wants to get somewhere fast.
But McCartney, 63, claims he often shocks his fellow passengers.
He said: "People always expect you to be riding around in stretch limousines all the time, but I will sometimes take public transport if it's convenient, and it does surprise people, you see the heads turn."
Sir Paul has also revealed how he played agony aunt to a woman on a bus.
The former Beatle was recognised by the lady during a day out in New York, but rather than being star-struck she started telling him her life story. He told America's Billboard magazine: "I was in New York and I needed to get uptown, so I took one of the uptown buses.
"This black lady said, "Hey, you Paul McCartney?" and started getting quite loud. I said, "Yeah, but I don't want any trouble off you babe," she just laughed. Then I said, "If you're going to talk to me, come over here and sit by me." So she did, and I heard her entire history, how she was going to visit her sister and all this stuff."
