Not only that, their employers have conducted a thorough risk assessment and taken necessary precautions, but it doesn't eliminate risk and as we've seen with some depots, there have been outbreaks and even deaths.

I think you need to engage your brain before your fingers.

Did I say otherwise? No!

What I said was that there are plenty of other key workers that have had to put up with far worse protections. MG himself has even said that bus drivers are amongst the most protected of all the frontline key workers.

Were those outbreaks in depots directly down to them being a bus driver (ie. catching COVID from passengers), or by the drivers themselves not following the precautions set out by their employer outside of the cab?
From the stories that were circulating, and from my own experience of seeing Arriva drivers standing around smoking together with no social distancing, I'd put money on it being the latter.
