Bus Driver Jobs in North Carolina

A Bus Driver in the transportation industry is primarily responsible for operating a bus to transport passengers from one location to another. This could include driving school buses, intercity buses, transit buses, or motor coaches. Bus drivers must ensure safe transportation of passengers by following all traffic laws, adjusting their driving according to weather and road conditions, and managing any unruly or disruptive passengers. They also collect fares, answer questions about schedules or routes, and assist passengers with disabilities in getting on or off the bus.

Important skills for a bus driver include excellent driving skills, proficiency in operating various types of buses, and strong customer service skills. They should also have good physical health, as the job often requires sitting for long periods and occasionally lifting heavy luggage or wheelchairs. Moreover, they need to have a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) and a passenger endorsement, often requiring a special training program. Before becoming a bus driver, a person may have roles such as a taxi driver, a delivery driver, or a truck driver, which provide relevant experience in professional driving and interacting with passengers.
