This riddle is quite humorous if it is spoken. The details of how many passengers get on and off is completely up to the teller. The idea is to fool the audience into calculating the number of passengers as if the punchline is “How many people (insert the rest)?” Another punchline I’ve used is “What is the name of the driver?

quite a clever riddle i have to say but it was quite obvious what the answer would be. it is funny because you will have peoples heads spinning trying to figure out all of the numbers fast enough. I would give it a 7/10!
