He took the matter up with the appropriate authorities and appears to have consented to a reasonable compromise. This is not obsessive bigotry and it is not at all like the other examples you stated. I'm not saying I agree with his opinions. Just that I admire him for standing up for them in a reasonable way.

Would you feel the same way if a bus driver refused to drive a bus that advertised liquor or tobacco, or showgirls with to much cleavage? How about medical clinics that might do abortions?
The bus driver is just that, a bus driver. He is certainly entitled to his religious convictions but refusing to drive the bus is hypocritical because I am sure we could find other examples in his day to day living wherein he has not sussed out a particular action as being against his beliefs.
