Should bus drivers be allowed breaks while on a route?

Why can't that wait until they get to the end of the route? Nothing should interfere with the time table ever. Not even the president!

Yes. It's a human rights issue if someone with diabetes or a diuretic can't hold a job because they medically can't hold their piss for an hour.
In my days, we just laughed about it when the driver pulled over and shouted, "Give me a minute, just grabbing some cigs." And they didn't do that during rush hour or shit, it was always off-peak.
Locally, the real reason for fucked up bus schedules was that the service decided "we must NEVER pay overtime to drivers under any circumstances. Your shift about to end? Kick everyone off the bus and get your ass to the depot." Sure as fuck wasn't piss-breaks.

A well designed schedule would allow for breaks. Having short breaks at certains parts, maybe just ends for local traffic, of the routes also means that in case there is something that has slightly fucked up the schedule it's possible to just skip the break and catch up to the schedule. Without breaks the schedule is fucked for the rest of the day as soon as anything happens.

Also civilized parts of the world have mandatory breaks and limits on how much one can drive for anyone operating a truck or a bus.

In college on my way home from class, the bus driver would sometimes get out of the bus at the bus stop and run over to Taco Bell or McDonalds. I didn't really mind though, didn't take that long and the guy has to eat.

Wheelchairs and disabled people are a mistake. This pic is the proof.

Same for letting them ride in buses. Retards mess up the schedule because they're special snowflakes who need a ramp to board in.

My local bus company has to strap their wheelchair down. We usually miss the stop light cycle because they put most of the bus stops before the intersection.

A friend use to drive busses, at the end of a route there would be something like a ten minute break before he would repeat the route.
He'd spent those ten minutes getting stoned.
It takes all sorts.

I was thinking of applying to drive a tube but I've got an enlarged prostate, which makes me piss too frequently. Feels bad man.
