The passengers can't sue for false imprisonment in the circumstances
you give, either. It's been tried and the case failed. Passenger
safety was the reason quoted.

That's back to the straw man that it's safer to drop the passenger off
on the grass verge of an unlit country road, rather than at a proper bus
stop in the High Street.

It's not a straw man.

What would call it then. "False premise"?
