Have you ever been on a Greyhound bus? It's almost impossible to move around when it's holding still, nevermind bouncing around a highway. It's certainly no place where I'd want to be in a knife fight.
The bus driver did exactly the right thing, got all the other passengers off. Then he and another guy barricaded the bus, containing the problem.
Arming the bus driver isn't going to help. He needs both hands on the wheel to keep control of the bus. Anybody could reach past him and disarm him - now he's got the gun. Discharging a firearm in the crowded bus is going to endanger passengers. A stray round could also set off the gas tanks.
