you can only count the waiting in the bus station as a break period if it is for longer than 15 minutes then you can deduct it from your 45 minute ( or 30 minute on domestic work ) break

Driving time is counted as 'time spent behind the wheel, with the engine running, for the purpose of controlling the vehicle'. So unless your engine is turned off when your passengers are getting on, it should be counted as driving time...

In reply to "Stuart" - sat in a traffic jam does count to driving hours, because it is not a timetabled break in driving (like waiting in a bus station is).

When you're in the car at the wheel, moving or not, you're driving. Ask him if sitting still in traffic jams also count as not-driving hours.
