When did it become the drivers job to fight with mentally unbalanced passengers. If you don’t care enough about your own health to train to protect yourself, why should the driver. Carry a sidearm. Learn how to use it first.
Self responsibility, something socialists refuse to acknowledge exists.
It never has been nor did I intend to suggest that it was. Given the admittedly sparse details provided in the article, other avenues are suggested as possibilities, particularly given the very long timeframe involved such as having police meet the bus en-route far sooner or pulling over and stopping and emptying the bus of the other passengers. Not having more details and not having been there it's difficult to offer concrete suggestions, but allowing an immediate life threat to exist for such a very long time naturally makes one want to think of other options.
