In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Der Fußbus fährt immer” is a common card of the German Memes pack, number 258 of the collection, and the 150th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Der Fußbus fährt immer” meme mean?
“Der Fußbus fährt immer” plays on the image of an imaginary “bus” made of one’s own legs, always available unlike actual buses, trains, or trams, which can run late, be full, or simply stop running. The phrase puts a situation where walking is the only option into perspective, framing that constraint as an absurd advantage: this particular mode of transport knows no strikes and no breakdowns. It gets brought back with an amused wink rather than as a genuine complaint.
Where does the “Der Fußbus fährt immer” meme come from?
“Der Fußbus fährt immer” belongs to the register of casual German humour, where “Fußbus” (literally “foot bus”) describes walking as if it were a full-fledged mode of transport. The phrase spread through German-language internet culture and everyday speech as a light way of commenting on the lack of available transport, a missed bus, a cancelled train, a trip too short to justify anything else, by highlighting the one comic advantage of walking: it is always available and depends on no schedule.
