Well actually to see a bus driver using his phone whilst driving is unusual, to see a car driver use it is not. The bus driver is in charge of a vehicle and his passengers, therefore the use use of his phone is totally irresponsible. You obviously think it is acceptable that the bus driver should be doing this, it is not acceptable for anybody to be using their phone whilst driving.

I dont think its acceptable (i admit i worded my previous post badly),normally when i get on a bus & see driver texting,i dont think about reporting it as ive seen it happen so many times on my local route it becomes normal to see them with there mobiles out (actully on my local route the drivers have done so much worse that texting while driving is not too bad)

Fair enough if you worded it wrong, to be honest they shouldnt be doing anything with their phones whilst carrying passengers unless of course the bus has a problem and of course they should have pulled over whilst reporting their problem. If the drivers operating your regular route are always using phones something needs to be done about them. Sounds like the standard of driving on the same route is not great.
