The proper wave to use depends on <a href="/title/where+in+the+world+you+are">where in the world you are</a>. In the US, the "negative" wave (e.g., you don't want this bus) consists of holding your <a href="/title/hand">hand</a> out at <a href="/title/waist+level">waist level</a>, palm-down, and moving it back and forth in a right-to-left motion. The "affirmative" wave (you want this bus) is essentially the same as that used to <a href="/title/hail+a+taxi">hail a taxi</a>: finger pointed to the sky in the general direction of the bus. In <a href="/title/London">London</a>, you indicate you want the bus by pointing your <a href="/title/finger">finger</a> straight out towards the <a href="/title/street">street</a>.</p>
