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

That is shit wages for Vancouver.

Sadly, this is a good wage for Vancouver.  And the exact reason why Whites are getting the fuck outta here.  I've heard that 50% of Vancouverites do NOT plan on living here until they die, me being one of them.  That is an extremely large number of people wanting to get the fuck out.



I have noticed that as the population of new immigrants grows in a city, wages stay suppressed.  Vancouver is an example of this phenomenon also.

Mass immigration and wage stagnation go hand in hand.

I'm surprised Freud hasn't put his hand up.



I'm sure he's driven a 40 seater fully laden with urgent medical supplies through the choked streets of central Melbourne to reach the Children's Hospital just in time to save the lives of critically ill infants.

I could probably drive one of thoses busses or Mel's tractir trailer.



However driving for sustained long periods if time aint my style.



I get tired very easily. Plus I'm a very impatient person & don't have the mental duscipline to wait in traffic all day long. I think an extended term of that kind of driving waiting in long lines of Vancouver traffic would age a person very fast. Probably destroy their hearing and eventual physical well being too over an extended period ofvtime. I've frequently seen 'busdriver belly' with 40 or 50 inch waistlines not being incommon.



30 minute or 1 hour sprints in a limo bus or vehicle is more my style.

Have you ever driven a large commercial vehicle with a trailer around downtown Van?  I can assure you it is not always easy, and far from a fun time.



In fact, I do my best to refuse jobs there, but every now and then I still end up there.
