Here that isn't that creepy, obviously you hide your power level, except when taking photos.
On my country (Chile) some drivers also take bus photos, and they love doing it, they even make their own conventions when everybody brings their bus/truck or simply a camera to take photos of the riced out buses, and hang out (ExpoPesados), the bus distributors show off every unit on FB so bus lovers can see them, and is really more bigger on parts like Brazil, where's even a project for a "bus-spotting(busólogia) day" on SP.
I could talk about it more, the connection that bus spotters have with drivers/bus manufacturers or companies is really impressive.
Even normies find some charm on buses, just see what happened when the Transantiago appeared.
