Rome for one more? Francis shuns Popemobile to ride the bus - and almost takes a tumble at mass!
The 76-year-old bagged an aisle seat for the short journey from the Sistine Chapel to the Vatican, saying: “I’ll just go with the guys on the bus.”
One of the guys: Pope Francis on the bus
Humble Pope Francis I hitches a lift back to the Vatican in a bus carrying the cardinals just hours after they voted him in. The 76-year-old showed his humility by shunning his security staff and his Vatican One Popemobile. Instead, he bagged an aisle seat for the short journey from the Sistine Chapel to the Vatican, saying: “I’ll just go with the guys on the bus.” Francis, who was elected Pop on Wednesday evening, also joined his fellow clergymen on a minibus to his first mass as pontiff.
