Why can't all drivers be on the same pay scale?

You'd just have different *grades* of driver, including the most junior
which was "have licence to drive bus, but not trains".

I suspect the only thing bus driving and train driving have in common
is that the vehicles both have wheels and they jobs are both called
"driving". I don't really think you can compare the two anymore than
you could compare flying a 747 with flying a kite even though both are
called flying (ok ,the disparity is obviously far greater there but
you get the point). Much as I think a lot of the tube drivers are a
bunch of agitators desperate to get their fingers in the till I
suspect there job has a lot more responsibility than a bus driver even
if driving a bus itself in london traffic is probably a bit harder
than driving a tube train.
