kumenglishA car driver goes for a trip.
(He is a taxi driver and carries/drives passenger for a short trip or short distance).

Without further information, we are not likely to think that "car driver" means "taxi driver".

"go for a trip" often (not always) implies a leisure activity. It is not an obvious phrase to use of a taxi driver. I suppose it is not impossible.

kumenglishA bus driver goes for a tour.
(He works at a travel agency and carries/drives passengers for a long distance )

"goes for a tour" also often (not always) implies a leisure activity. Your sentence could therefore sound as if the bus driver is on holiday, rather than actually driving the bus.

It seems to me that a bus driver would not normally work "at a travel agency".

kumenglishWhich one is suitable either carries or drives passenger?

Arguably the subject of "carry" is more properly the vehicle, though in practice it can be extended to the driver. "drive (people/passengers)" seems more suitable in the case of a private car, or maybe a taxi, but probably not usually a bus, at least not a bus in ordinary public service.
