What makes you think you have any business doing that? What do you
think people did before buses were invented?
Works both ways, doesn't it? If people want to use your bus, why
shouldn't they? If they want to talk to people on the next seat, or on
the phone, why shouldn't they?
Of course, buses used to have the driver kept separate in a driving
cab, deafened by the roar of the engine. But the drive to cut the cost
of the conductor put paid to that. Perhaps you should campaign for
soundproof screens rather than **** off you passengers - the people
who pay your wages.
If you really find the chatter of your passengers such a problem,
perhaps you should get a new job. There aren't any lighthouse keepers
any more, but perhaps you could herd sheep on some hillside miles for
other people.
