I bet you have some romantic notion of the job whereby all the passengers and car drivers are nice to you and you wave at the bus spotters with a cheery grin on your face as you drive by. The reality is far different.
They're not charity workers, but they are workers.
I would drive a bus for £11, but I have no PSV. If I did, I know I certainly wouldn't abandon people who are earning far less and will probably get sacked if they're not lucky enough to have alternative transport, because I know fine well £11 is enough to pay my essential bills already. Like most people I am sure, we can see this is probably not a matter of basic survival for most striking drivers.
