Morphology
The meaning 'a person whose job is to drive a bus' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'bus' (a large vehicle running fixed public routes) with 'driver' (a person who drives). This simple noun–noun compound follows a common, literal composition pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Bus driver is a simple name: a bus is a large vehicle for many people and a driver is the person at the front who controls it. So, bus driver means 'a person whose job is to drive a bus'.
