If Next wants to do a Boxing Day sale then that's their problem bus driver's shouldn't be expected to work to shuttle a few people to go clothes shopping. when there's plenty other days you can go. Most decent work places won't be open other than the likes of hospitals and neither are the big supermarkets this year either.
The majority of the general public would have respect for driver's as most people would realise that half the things you rant about them are the managers and suits above who should be getting the slack. If GNE and the rest of the industry actually paid a decent page and didn't have morale shot to the bottom then driver's might actually be more willing to do more on their days off such as working Bank Holiday shifts.
You say you don't care about drivers but the comments you make on here give the impression you have a massive grudge against them.
Work? Football? Socialising? Family requirements?
There's many reasons why people may need to go out Boxing Day and need to use public transport.
The same could be said about Christmas Day too.
I get that drivers have lives to live, but they're working in a service industry.
