What's got me beat is that buses in Australia, with few exceptions, have
extremely poor driver protection as might be found in Europe. Unless I was
a big bloke, I wouldn't touch commuter bus driving after hours for double
that amount. It's too dangerous.

If, as they say, it's hard to get people doing the job, surely a cab
enclosure would help, and relatively inexpensively?
