Using mass transit, so he's eco-friendly! The white cat, who bus drivers have nicknamed "Macavity," takes the bus several times a week, traveling 400meters down the road to a shopping district. Experts believe he's going to the fish and chip shop.

Since January, when the cat first caught the bus he has done it two or three times a week and always gets on and off at the same stops.

 
Passenger, Paul Brennan, 19, who catches the 331 to work, said: "I first noticed the cat a few weeks ago. At first I thought it had been accompanied by its owner but after the first stop it became quite clear he was on his own.

 
"He sat at the front of the bus, waited patiently for the next stop and then got off. It was was quite strange at first but now it just seems normal. I suppose he is the perfect passenger really - he sits quietly, minds his own business and then gets off."
