Regardless of where the indicators, door open buttons, seat adjusters, etc are - it's still a bus. As long as you're licence to drive it, you know the height and length of it, then it shouldn't be an issue?
I do think type-training is quite important, but it shouldn't be something which goes on for weeks and weeks and weeks on end. Delaying the disposal of buses (where the sale value will be decreasing) as a result of long periods of time to train drivers on buses could make the process seem a bit of a "faff on", I agree.
Included some dashboard shots for interest below:
