Donald MacLeod, who owns some of Glasgow's most iconic venues, called the suggestion 'idiotic'.
"It negates all responsibility from their side," he told BBC Scotland.
But Mr MacLeod argued that the government should take more responsibility for improving public transport in the city. He said First Bus had tried to solve the problem through regular meetings with stakeholder groups for six months, and the company was still open to exploring alternative solutions in the future.He said: "They warned us that the service wasn't getting used and we said we would meet and come up with suggestions."And to not come back with any solution other than finding someone who's just worked six hours and giving them the key to a double decker - it's ridiculous.
A company spokesperson said the increased frequency on daytime routes will benefit over 600,000 passengers a month.Graham McNab, Unite's officer at First Bus Glasgow, said: "First Bus are a well unionised workforce who would be very unhappy at the suggestion of casualisation being introduced.
