| Jan 30, 2017 at 15:52 | comment | added | DanF | I'm puzzled as to why the 1st item is any concern. A city bus will be travelling on its own route picking up and dropping 0ff non-Jewish passengers. It is, therefore, not doing anything specifically for Jews. The one problem may be if the Jew is the only one waiting or leaving at a specific stop. Which, leads to a possible leniency if a Jew waits at a stop where a Gentile is waiting or uses a stop where the bus would stop anyway, such as the terminal stops. | |

So essentially the driver is not doing this melacha for the Jew. He's doing it for himself (his job) and the general public. So it's not like asking a non Jew to switch on the lights. | |
