Though it might be impossible. I only remember one scene, that was all that was memorable to me about it. But still it was a very memorable scene. :D Protagonist and love interest are running down the street from some danger when they come upon a bus stop just as the city bus pulls up. The door of the bus opens and you see Steve Wonder (or Ray Charles, one of the two) sitting in the driver seat. The protagonist and love interest share * that * look with one another and the protagonist says "Uh... We'll take the next bus." . To which Steve Wonder shrugs, closes the door, and the bus drives off.

Might have been Ray Charles. I know they've done similar comedy with him before, like Blues Brothers 2 when he fired off a few rounds at a kid reaching to steal a musical instrument and put the holes inches from the kids outstretched hand. :D But, still... When ever I remember that scene I have to smile at the absurdity of a blind guy driving a bus. :D

"Spy Hard" (1996) - Ray Charles was a bus driver in this movie. I don't remember a scene exactly.

* watches a clip on Youtube * No, not quite, Leslie Nelson and co was on the bus in that, not running up to the bus then deciding to not get onto the bus due to the fact Ray Charles was driving. * Hmm *

OK. How old is your movie?

Perhaps it is "Hot Pursuit" (2015) - I don't remember a movie exactly too, but there is blind bus driver probably - according to this website:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2967224/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt
"Special Effects by
Robert Benavidez ... special effects technician: additional photography
Peter Chesney Jr. ... special effects technician
Peter Chesney ... special effects supervisor: blind bus driver"

It is long shot, but maybe :-)

"In 1980
Ray Charles made appearances on The Super Dave Osborne Show, where he performed and appeared in a few vignettes where he was somehow driving a car, often as Super Dave’s chauffeur.
Ray Charles was a featured star in The Blues Brothers movie."
