Change law so that bus drivers' hours align with other drivers

Background

Change the law for bus drivers' hours so the maximum driving hours are 4.5 not 5.5 before needing a break of 45 mins rather than just 30, as bus driving involves stop-start driving & keeping up with high pressure timetables just like other delivery drivers, but with an arguably more valuable cargo.

Additional details

We believe more and more bus drivers are suffering the effects of fatigue and mental exhaustion as bus companies push the drivers hours to the limit: it's not safe anymore and something needs to be done.
