The answer

It is not forbidden for a Muslim to work as a public bus driver, unless the buses are specifically designated for transporting passengers to places where forbidden acts are committed. However, the presence of passengers who drink alcohol does not make the work forbidden, because the fundamental purpose of a driver's work is to transport passengers, which is a permissible act.
