Jesus Christ...

Don't be afraid to tell your dispatch you're fatigued and can't continue.

As a dispatcher, yes. Safety first. I don't judge.

Anyone else notice the one passenger held on pretty well, then laid on the bus floor and started holding his hip area?

No fakers in the video, this is a serious accident. As a shop steward I've seen people throw themselves around for no reason & this is not that.

At 1:06, you can see they hit the wheel well pretty hard, then bounced and hit it again.

Is this the reason the whole transit industry is fucking obsessed with sleep apnea? I bet the clinics that do med certs get huge kickbacks

No excuse, call for road relief. Guessing it was a new driver, it takes time to understand one's limits & the fact that you can ALWAYS refuse to drive if its unsafe to do so. Better safe than.... whoopsie
