Not at all. You'll have a lot of trouble getting drives that will work
1-hour shifts, and here the legal minimum is 3 hours (in other words,
the drivers would be paid for 3 hours whether or not their services were
required)

It's significantly more efficient to have more buses run several trips,
one for each destination, since you're paying for the drivers anyway.
