“Everyone just keeps repeating themselves here. I am not a lawyer and dont pretend to know the laws involved here. What I am saying is there is a need to have a bus with seperate seating for this route. There are various bus routes along the tristate area which have seperate seating. If they have to privatize I’m sure they will.”
That’s really not the issue here. No one gives a fig about their privately-owned-and-operated segregated bus. That they tried enforce their chumra on a public bus, with no apparent halachic basis or legal backing, is an big issue and a chillul Hashem. Don’t just dismiss that.

“The passengers will keep enforcing the rule even if the bus company and driver do not. It would be dangerous for the bus driver to get involved while driving a bus on the road. And the bus company isn’t responsible for the passengers enforcement.
“The bus driver is driving. And a multi-ton bus. It is dangerous for him to get involved in conversations between passengers. A bus driver is not liable for their conversations.”
