A bus driver is a person who drives [a bus/buses] as their profession.

A cabby is a person who drives [a cab/cabs] (as their profession) <= "as their profession" is redundant?

Please pick the best answer and provide a short explanation

Thanks!

Looks good to me.

I would also agree that "as their profession" is not required.
