Problem is not just one trip, and you're right, economy is going down the drain here.

Problem is that those drivers take as much work as they can because they can't make ends meet after they collect wages. So they put extra hours to get more money. Remove a second driver, and you have a sleep deprived driver taking double or triple shifts just to collect an extra coin.

I don't doubt it. Hopefully the damage will be limited. Maybe better wages are possible when things get better. Not many people can sleep on a bus though. having two sleep deprived drivers might not be that much better than one.
We don't need two sleep deprived drivers, that was just another way to mitigate the problem.

We need companies to pay drivers enough so they can do their job and go to sleep before taking the next shift.
