The answer

It is not permissible to work as a bus driver for a bus that carries advertisements for sins and abominations, such as advertisements for alcoholic beverages and immoralities, because the driver's work in this case is considered assisting in the promotion of those forbidden things. This is what Allah has prohibited in His saying: (And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression). And whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better and provide for him from where he does not expect.
