It's still not acceptable to pay to use a service, any service, be it restaurant, cinema OR bus, and have to tolerate that, what I'd personally implement is that the police should be called and the person detained until they sobered up, thereby solving the immediate problem of not letting him travel on the bus in that state (although he'll still stink when he's sober!!) and so that he can't take the option to drive. A taxi driver would refuse to take him, that's a cast iron fact, so why is that any different to a bus? Are taxi drivers then in the wrong? I don't think so.
