TransLink has secured $7.3 Billion in extra funding over the next ten years, and is moving forward and expansion plans.
Got a letter from my employer yesterday stating the need to hire and train 400-500 new city bus drivers EACH year, for at least the next 3-5 years.
They've already ordered 600 new buses to be delivered over the next two years.
Plans call for an additional depot in the city to house the expanded fleet. That brings the number of depots up to 7.

Driving is NOT for everyone, and is NOT the only opportunity.
Big bus =full time, six weeks paid training. Currently $22.53 thru $32.19 an hour.
Mini bus =part time to start, two weeks paid training. $19.37 thru $26 an hour.
Also saw a news article about Amazon building another warehouse in Delta, and will need 700 new employees once it opens.

Are you one of those retired people or police officers who wants to drive those yellow school busses, BT?
I know a retired RCMP officer who's driving one for something to do.

In the US, the core license is the CDL which is standard nationwide. In my state, there's a passenger endorsement that attaches to it, for public transportation or livery. And for school busing, there's an additional endorsement.

That's pretty much the case here also. The CDL is state-issued but there is a national template for it that states have to follow. Thank Big Insurance for that.

And several provinces in Canada have government owned auto insurance.

Government owned auto insurance is bad for responsible drivers.
Fyi: The bus driving postings have ended, for now.... Might have to do with the delay in launching the three new Bline routes until 2020.
But SkyTrain has added their need for more SkyTrain attendants. $32.61 an hour. Click onto the BCRTC page off of www.translink.ca/careers I believe that having first aid certification is a requirement.

How often are buses disinfected?
Who does it?
Quote from: "Fashionista"
Who does it?
My understanding is that buses get swept out every night and thoroughly cleaned 2-4 times each year. They are now being disinfected weekly, by overnight service people.
I also bring disinfectant wipes with me and wipe the steering wheel, door control and door handles every morning.

That isn't enough. Use Methylated spirits on rags.
The buses should be disinfected at least 3 times a day.
In fact, no one should go on a bus. They should be home waiting out the virus to slow down or be eliminated altogether.

I haven't been wearing them. The company was handing out baggies with two gloves and the smallest alcoholic wipe I've ever seen. Got two bags of each in my work bag. And then the union was given 1500 masks too. Got two of them too. The newer buses have a plexiglass shield. I wash my hands every trip.
Ridership is way down. Yesterday my bus only had 15 useable seats. Never had more than ten on the bus at any one time.
Passengers are boarding thru the rear doors.
There are a variety of reasons for being off, but we have between 15 and 20% of drivers off right now. I haven't heard of any drivers having Covid19.

You said buses are nearly empty. How the hell can they justify hiring more drivers. That is like Air Canada going on a hiring spree.
The facts as I know it: Prior to the pandemic; TransLink had embarked on a 10 year, near $10 Billion expansion plan. More buses, more often.
Hiring and training 400-500 more drivers each year.
Pandemic hit: Training stop for 3 months; daily funding dried up; major cuts planned, announced 1492 lay offs to take effect May 18; But like ten days before the layoffs: Emergency funding was secured; no lay offs. Training resumed late June; internal posting looking for existing staff who want to switch to bus driving; I guess most city routes are busy again; I'm out in the suburbs carrying next to no one. maybe 60-70 people total the entire day, used to be that number every round trip! There are 3333 Conventional drivers and about 500 shuttle drivers; Company is moving forward with adding more "Rapid Buses" on the busiest corridors; Scheduling has been tweaking the service; reducing service on some routes already. I guess they still need more driver trainees, whether for expansion and/or to attrition...
I still see many Help Wanted and Now Hiring signs around metro Vancouver; I guess we're doing better than many other regions...
