In other words, is the driver 'in charge'?

I believe this to be a sensible and genuine question and deserves to be answered with the same merit.
Any operator of a P.S.V vehicle (bus/coach etc)is by law responsible for everyone in the vehicle and although they are not allowed to use force or insulting behaviour they do have the power to ask someone to leave the vehicle,or stop doing what is offending other fare paying passengers, in some cases they can drive straight to a police station or bus depot and get the matter sorted because passenger safety is paramount at all times, this also applies to guards on trains.
I hope this helps, all the best.

Yes and No depends what the driver has asked you to do.
The driver should be concerned with the safety of his passengers and if you are making trouble on his bus he can tell you to get off or get the police to remove you.
He can also stop you at source and if he has a doubt about you maybe drunk etc, can stop you riding in the first place.
He only has the power of any other person and can only make a citizen s arrest.

as such the driver is in charge, but he should only request you to sit in your seat or get off the bus if you are being a problem, if the bus driver said give him a bj then you would surely decline!!! so the answer is yes but within reason!

Surely it depends on what the "Driver" tells you to do ? If , for example,he tells you to take all your clothes off and sit on his lap or "carry out" similar antics , with his assistance of course,it may be thats not quite what the "Rules" really meant . It,s up to you = enjoy your "Bus Ride" -- Have a Ball * * * *

I think you will find that he is in charge of the bus and the safety of the passengers, so if he feels you are doing something that will jeopardise passenger safety he has a legal obligation to other passengers and his own safety to say something.

he`s the man/boss, unless an inspector gets on, driver can just stop the bus and refuse to go on...

If the driver says, "Fare, please," or asks you to step away from the door, or to keep moving - YES.
If the driver asks you to take off all of your clothes, or to start killing the other passengers - NO.
