Well after talking to a bus mechanic on this issue I sort of get this answer to this question.

Bus companies are now going auto's because new heavy vehicle drivers used to driving auto cars are too lazy to use first gear when fully loaded and burn out clutches every 3 months .

Simply because manuals are not suited to city conditions and auto could get the job done with alot more ease on the driver.
