Quite so, but what about everyone behaving as they expect other people to
behave?

Quite possibly it was some the passengers that provoked him initially and
this car driver was simply the final straw?

The relevance being? Or do you expect different behaviour from people
dependant solely on the job they do?
Do you ride a motorcycle, or have you ever ridden one?

That would depend on the reason for the outburst. Bus drivers are not
supermen, in fact given that most bus companies pay their drivers quite
poorly and don't treat them particularly well I would hazard a guess that
they don't get the pick of the crop. Presumably you're familiar with the
phrase "Pay peanuts" etc.
