There is a bus full of people travelling over
San Francisco and no-one gets off the bus throughout
the journey. But when it gets to the other side
there is not a single person left. How is this
possible?

since a bus full of people dont just get abducted my guess is this...
It is a play on words "not a single person left" is correct there is more than 1 person left.

Turtler7 - Prince has posted what is assuredly the intended answer (a slightly different wordplay). As you are fairly new here, you may not be aware of "hidden text". When you see a blank area in someone's post, try selecting the area with your mouse. You will usually see hidden text in it. It is a common practice to hide your answers here, at least for the first few posts, so that others do not see the answer with the question. To hide text, use the hide tags: [ hide ] and [ /hide ] (with the added spaces removed).

If they are all married, none of them is single -- not a single person left.
