I've always done it even if the bus driver isn't nice, because a simple thank you could make someones day better.

It's not something that's required per say, but I suppose I was raised to say please and thank you to anyone who helped me out, even if it is riding a bus. I'm not saying you're in the wrong, especially if it's not proper etiquette where you're from, it just always seems like it's better to say thank you than to not say thank you. However, most times, the bus drivers don't really respond, so I do see where you're coming from when you say they don't really care either way. It's more for a personal thing with me, really.
