What a stupid statement - without the drivers, you wouldn't have a bus getting you to where you need to be...
How nice of you to cut out the context from your quote to fit your agenda.
At the end of the day, it works both ways. If they don't want to work the services that passengers want (or need), then they're going to be out of a job altogether.
It's the job of the operator to make sure drivers and passengers are kept happy.
Plus, you have to remember that people have no legal right to bank holidays or Sundays off work. In fact, a lot of companies now have it in their contracts that staff are expected to work Sundays and bank holidays.
As I said before, people still need to get to work, for a lot of people they're just a normal day, except from the fact that they can't get anywhere using public transport!
