In random order, how about -1 point if, after sitting down, you realise that the seat is wet (you don't know what with); -10 points if someone unsuccessfully tries to pickpocket you (they're clearly an enemy agent), but automatic failure if when you leave the bus you find that your wallet has been stolen; +5 points if you give up your seat to someone who needs it more than you (every little bit to save the world); automatic failure if you fall asleep and miss your stop; -1 point for each person listening to music whose music you can hear despite their headphones; -3 points if a fellow passenger stands up between stops and starts preaching...
I could go on, as these are all from experience (except my wallet wasn't stolen - the pickpocket was so inept, it tickled a lot).
And in case it isn't obvious, I think this game idea is great. It almost (I repeat, almost) makes me want to catch a bus...
Maybe if you run into someone you know on the bus you gain points cause they're a fellow agent and can help. If they're someone you know but you haven't spoken to them in over 6 months then they're a double agent and you lose points.
Oh and last week someone shit themselves on my bus... you immediately lose. Whole city nuked. Endgame. Fuck that

Haha hate it all but love it for the game. The wet seat makes me feel physically ill. I've got some stories from the bus but I won't share them here.

I like your idea of seeing the same person again.
Umm... maybe bodily fluids on the bus is an instant endgame?
