No smoking, eating or drinking signs placed inside nearly 100 public buses have turned heads for a glaring spelling error.

Reddit user nacrimo posted the image alongside the caption 'Every. Single. Brisbane. Bus. How have I not noticed this?'

Other users commented on the photo after spotting the error.

A typo on no smoking, eating or drinking signs inside at least 100 Brisbane buses has turned heads after a picture of the spelling mistake was posted to Reddit on Tuesday

In the sign telling people they can't smoke on Queensland public transport the word consumption is misspelt

'Someone had one job..,' one user responded.

'I hate that you showed me this. Now I'm going to be irritated! You could have left me in my blissful ignorance!' another added.

The word consumption has been misspelled.

'For the comfort and health of your fellow passengers smoking is prohibited in this bus, as is the comsumption (sic) of food or drink,' the sign reads.

'More reason to hate this stupidly worded sign! Why not just say 'no smoking, eating or drinking?' one Reddit user pointed out.

The typo is on at least 100 buses in and around Brisbane, The Courier Mail reported.

Reddit users immediately commented on the picture with many ridiculing the typo on a council commissioned bus

A council spokesman told the publication stickers with the typo were put on about '8 per cent of Brisbane's 1,200-plus bus fleet'

Some other Reddit users said they went out of their way to ride their local bus but most weren't able to find one of the 100 buses with the typo.

'Riding a bus now and the spelling is correct on this sign,' one user said.

'I'm making it a mission the next time I'm on public transport to notice this,' another added.

A council spokesman told the publication stickers with the typo were put on about '8 per cent of Brisbane's 1,200-plus bus fleet'.

'Council is aware of a misspelled word on an information sticker displayed on some Brisbane buses,' the spokesman told the publication.

'An audit is underway and Council will ensure all stickers identified with a misspelled word are replaced as soon as possible.'
