Rejected petition: Better working conditions for bus drivers
Rejected on
Require bus companies to provide permanent toilets at all driver rest points, improve pay to match train drivers, make bonuses tax-free, allow fair choice of annual leave dates, provide monthly wellbeing checks, faith-based rota adjustments and hold companies accountable for operational failures.
Require better conditions for UK bus drivers: clean permanent toilets at all rest stops, fair accountability so companies are responsible for unrealistic schedules and staffing issues, pay aligned closer to train drivers, bonuses tax-free, fair choice of annual leave dates with real flexibility, monthly confidential wellbeing checks via an independent provider, and rota flexibility for Muslim prayer needs while keeping services running safely. Bus drivers deserve dignity and fair treatment.
