Certain bus driver is attracted to me - don't want to make things awkward

Apologies if this may not be the most fitting place for this.

As the title says, I'm pretty certain my bus driver is attracted to me (25F), he's much older and I'm afraid things will become uncomfortable for me.

I've been working at my job for 8 months. I take the bus 5 days a week, and I've gotten to know all the drivers. There's only one bus I can take to get to work, so no alternatives as I don't drive. When I'm at the terminal at the end of every day, and I see a bus driver I know go by they often acknowledge me, which I don't mind. However, one driver is making me feel a little bit uncomfortable, I feel it may be my own fault. When he goes by, on the opposite side when I'm at the terminal, he stares at me, often for a ridiculously long period considering he's driving. He did this last week and to make myself feel a little less uncomfortable I gave a small smile, to which he raised his eyebrows. Now, since, he stares at me and smiles and I'm worried I've given the wrong idea. I'm nervous for when he's my driver and how he'll proceed, if he'll try small talk/get my number. I don't want to make things awkward or uncomfortable anymore than I have and I don't know what to do.

it would be completely against his employment contract to engage with you in any way except as a friendly fare. You could get him dismissed if there were any proof he was making passes or any sexual contact. But it doesn’t sound as though he’s definitely doing this. If you get him on your journey just be ordinarily friendly or not. He shouldn’t do anything report him if he definitely does. This includes asking you out

How will he get your number unless you give him it??
