        It’s a way to say thank you when there’s many people thanking one person. Just like in theatre, at a concert. I know it from guided tours as well.

            It’s a question of custom. But it’s a nice custom that says thanks, so I don’t understand why so many people are averse to it. I think it would be nice to applaud a bus driver. It’s just not usually done. I happen to get applauded occasionally both at work and during my hobby and I love when it happens!
