Imagine 75-year-old bus drivers driving your kids to school? They
could have a heart attack or stroke any minute.

Any bus or coach driver over 65 has a compulsory medical every year, and
the slightest doubt about their fitness to drive removes their licence.
We have a few drivers over 70 working for us, and they are as good at
their job, within their limits, as the younger ones.

They normally potter around on school contracts and local work for a few
hours a day, leaving us younger ones to get on with the touring and
other jobs that need more stamina.

They also seem to have less trouble with the kids' behaviour than the
young drivers, but that's another thread.
