Unlike enforcing masks, enforcing adherence to updated vehicle capacity is very simple - count how many people are on, update the display and sail past bus stops, nothing hard about that. I'd be expecting a disciplinary.
As a side note, if literally any of the people standing up complain about that then they've got no argument - they could see how busy it was when they got on.
I don't think there's any suggestion that it is a scholars bus or down to school kids, but you're right that it is down to the driver not adhering to the Covid vehicle capacity.
"Standing on buses
You must remain seated on buses at all times. Standing is not currently allowed anywhere on a bus.
This is so that people can use all the space on both decks while maintaining social distance."

I personally think that its been evident right through this pandemic, is that too many people don't think beyond themselves. Whilst ultimately the driver is likely to be at fault for exceeding capacity, the people who have continued to board like lemmings are just as bad. This isn't exclusive to transport though - I've seen plenty of pubs packed out over the weekend. People trying to have a quick blow out before the new rules came in today. We literally need to treat some grown adults like school kids.
