This might be ignorance, but train driver seems a real doddle of a job. You're running on tracks, so all you seemingly have to do is press go. No turning, the junctions are controlled for you, you just have to know where to stop and how to react to obstructions on the line.

Bus drivers remember will get quite a lot of hassle. There are stories of them being attacked by stupid teens regularly. Drunken passengers etc
