Your argument is basically one that encourages a race to the bottom. I’m sure the drivers welcome the increased protection. What is wrong with their employers allowing this increased protection?
Passengers have that choice of moving on the bus if room allows, if not they can get off. Again a driver does not have that opportunity if he wants to keep his job.
I don't buy the argument that passengers can just move seats or get off. There are a number of issues with that: a) we're talking about capacity here and specifically every row of seats being taken, b) people cannot exactly play musical buses (in the absence of operators taking customer safety seriously) on the way to work - they'd never get there, and c) I don't believe drivers have the facility to issue part refunds, if you decide to get off the bus early on safety grounds.
Like I say, I don't begrudge drivers (or anyone else) having 2m for safety, but I really dislike hypocrisy.

There was no way social distancing or capacity control measures were being adhered to within the period of time it took to drive past.
Local councillors were quoting 300 in attendance... anyone who knows the club may ask 'how??!'
But this comes back to businesses doing the bare minimum. Very few are looking beyond the £££ signs.
