00:00 They are the unsung heroes of South Yorkshire's roads, who contend with traffic, challenging passengers and more to transport us from A to B.
00:11 These photos show some much-loved bus drivers from Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham during the 1990s and noughties.
00:21 Among them is a hero bus driver who rescued two people from a car before it exploded.
00:27 A singing driver who entertained passengers with his dulcet tones, and another who handed out home-grown produce from his garden to elderly customers.
00:37 Also pictured is one lucky driver who got to keep £1,100 found in a wallet on his bus after the money went unclaimed.
00:47 The yellow bus to Bradfield School in Sheffield, the bendy bus to Meadow Hall and a fundraising legend from Crookes feature too in our retro photo gallery.
00:57 Do you remember any of the drivers pictured, or the buses they drove back then?
