if it is an felony who can i report it to i have pictures of the driver smoking

also can i be disallowed travel for reporting it

It is interdicted full stop to smoke in a enclosed public place - which a bus is - since 1st July 2007, and it has ALWAYS been illegal to smoke in front of minors - which school children are.

Dispatch it not only to the company that run the service. But also to the local council.

No you can NOT be disallowed on the bus for reporting it.
