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.
Well said.

Anyone who takes a job knowing the buses are a constant source of advertising is a hypocrite.
If the advert was placed in hios church then he'd have my sympathy. This country is a muli=ethnic community of all races and religions. The moment we start to pander to Christianity extremists, we start pandering to Islamic extremists. They are no different when it comes to principles.
