Know anyone who might want to be a city bus driver?

[Anonymous]

City bus driver trainees are in demand!!



Metro Vancouver needs hundreds of trainees each year! http://www.translink.ca/careers/">http://www.translink.ca/careers/ and then click onto Coast Mountain Bus Company.



HandyDART is also hiring too, class #4 license required.



BC Transit- Victoria is also hiring: https://bctransit.com/Victoria/careers/">https://bctransit.com/Victoria/careers/

This a great idea. I should post some CP job ads. The only problem eith that is if you are hired you actually have to work for CP.

My Daddy worked for CN as the division engineer for Edmonton  West. He said it was a bureaucratic place to work. Some of the things they did made no sense.  Most of that though is Transport Canada trying to make themselves relevant.

So... A canadian bus driver gets over 3000euros per month..

I just did some quick converting, and I made over 50,000 Euros last year.

That's nearly twenty thousand Canadian dollars more than what I made last year Superchecker.

Damn! That's a lot more than bus drivers make here in Barrie I think.

SC,



Have you ever had any violent passengers?  If it happens in the future, feel free to warn them that you are a friend(with benefits RRARRR) with the Iron Chink. That will put the fear of God into them.

It sounds like a part time job until one has a lot of seniority Superchecker..



Perhaps, I'm misunderstanding what you mean.

Conventional is all full time, minimum 7.5 hours per day.



There are a variety of ways of earning more than just 7.5 hours per day. Many shifts have built in overtime, because they are longer than 7.5 hours.



Evening shifts earn an extra $1 an hour.



Sunday shifts are paid at time and a half.



Holiday shifts are paid at time and a half, plus a days pay for the bank stat day too.



Some longer split shifts have spread over pay added too.



By working Sundays and holidays, I average an extra 15 hours per pay period. Plus, the Sunday premium increases my pension by 10% too!

Conventional is well full time, minimum 7.5 hours per day.

You posted this "minimum 7.5 hours per week", but obviously that was a mistake.

I think we all  knew  what you meant Stud.



Now, tell us some stories about unruly passengers.

How many hours/day on average?



In here the busdrivers dont get sums like that..





A female friend of mine has two masters degrees but she only gets like 2100e/month..

minimum 7.5 hours per day. I choose to work Sundays and holidays for the extra pay. Probably average at least 45 hours a week.

The busdrivers here get around 25k/year.



The salaries are bigger on that side of the puddle.

Even within Canada, I think Vancouver transit operators are probably the best paid in the country..



Superchecker will probably know..



Vancouver is Canada's most expensive city in which to live.

Now, tell us some stories about unruly passengers.

Well, for years I worked split shifts instead of late nights.



I really don't haven't many evil stories.



Had a guy crap all over the rear seats.



Helped an emotional and lost teen girl meet up with friends.



Been spat on for refusing to give a free ride.



Been rear ended a few times.



Broken down like once or twice a year.



Been stuck in more than a few ice/snow storms.



Seen a young couple pleasuring themselves. Seen a lady of the evening without underwear sit down in full view of everyone getting on the bus.



Helped put out 2 engine fires, and 2 or 3 grass fires.

Clean regular class #5 license, some customer service experience, able to do shift work, must have the learners air brakes endorsement prior to training.

Do you mean some guy dropped his pants and took a dump on bus seat?



Did the spitter run after he did that?
