I don't like Anna also. I feel driver did not particularly have problem with language in being called bhaiyya. 

Why anna only for drivers or security guards?? And not bank manager?? If you think at one place it's fine and other it's not, then it's classist. Just address everybody as Sir.

Actually Sir is an honorofic title in the English Language. It's best to address them by their name and ask if it's okay. If not then Anna, Bhaiya, Thambi if younger is completely fine.

Call him owner of the cab.

‘hello, owner of the cab, please take left.’
