He was driving along Mount Pleasant Road in the vicinity of Mount Close just before 8pm on Wednesday, 3 May, when he stopped the bus to let the last two passengers off.
One of the men, who had boarded the bus on West Bay Road, held a knife to the driver and demanded cash, a police press release said.
