Primary Secondary Post-16

Bus drivers are responsible for safely transporting passengers along designated routes in towns, cities, or rural areas. Their main duties include driving the bus, following timetables, collecting fares, assisting passengers, and ensuring the safety and comfort of everyone on board. Bus drivers must have excellent driving skills, a calm temperament, and strong customer service abilities, as they often interact with people from all walks of life. To become a bus driver in the UK, you need a full car driving licence and a Passenger Carrying Vehicle (PCV) licence, which involves additional training and tests. The job can be rewarding for those who enjoy being on the road and helping the public, but it may also involve dealing with challenging traffic conditions and working unsociable hours.
