We don't have the name of the bus company so I wouldn't rush to judgement. I'd suspect the bus company would be named and shamed if this is true. Might be more of an attention seeking ploy.
FYI, according to the article, the Jewish spokesperson declined to give those details. I am not sure why he refused, but I certainly would not have done so.
Maybe it might be part of negotiating a settlement -- more money in exchange for not outing the company (or companies). I do think this 'theory' is probably far-fetched, however.

Could be anything, which is why I say we should not rush to judgement or outrage until more facts come in.
My suspicion is the reason behind the lack of drivers could be much more mundane than what is being hinted at here (but not directly accused) and so the spokesperson won't give the name to avoid a libel suit.
But, we should wait for more facts, like the bus company, and their statement.

The story is clear in implication. 900 people flew in having previously arranged private transportation via whatever bus company. Some number of drivers on the spot refused to drive some number of the 900 people to the event. Some of those left behind found alternate transport some did not.
You and I both know if the bus company's drivers had clean hands there would have been a response on the spot. "We suffered several mechanical breakdowns"....."we mis-scheduled drivers"....."busses were vandalized/tires slashed and not safe" etc.
Sure there is some thin chance a mundane and legit reason exists why people were denied previously arranged transport. At this point, after a few days such appears less and less likely.
