Bus\-Fahrer

or put in the preamble

\hyphenation{Bus-Fahrer con-train-tes ré-so-lu-tion}%

By the way, in which language do you write? If not in English, you  
should use a font with the T1 encoding instead of Computer Modern, in  
order to have the proper line breaks. For example, the Latin Modern  
fonts:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}

and of course, use the appropriate option of babel:

\usepackage[german]{babel}%if you write in German
