Rumour has it that Coast Mountain Bus is in need of hiring 300 new Operators/Drivers in 2014 and probably a similar number in 2015....

If you know of anyone who might be interested, NOW is the time to be applying!

They often train about a dozen at a time, with new classes every other week...

Conventional/Full Time training lasts 6 weeks. Community/Part Time takes 2 weeks...

www.translink.ca and then the Careers page, and THEN Coast Mountian Bus.....

I'm supervised that the jobs hasn't been took up, maybe people think they need a special license like a CDL.
Maybe they need to state training available, or something.
I know here the jobs would be snatched up fast.

Nice scenery :) cool video also, someone took a lot of time with it.
We have a lot of the short buses here for handicapped, I think you can just call them for a ride, and they will come to your house.
My dad used to get valchers for it when he didn't drive, or I couldn't take him because of work.

I actually did apply for the bus driver job 6 years ago. I went for the initial tests just after I was hired with my present company but they never got back to me. Maybe my English skills were too good. :unsure:

Nice benefits, and worth looking at I think if looking for a job.
I sure wish I had a chance as a kid to get on there, but no chance here.
Likely with my driving record I would have to put in for something besides driver.

My first real job I was paid $2.10 an hour, and Ford paid $24-$25 something when I was there, it was great pay.
I keep saying it, but I would sure put in for one of those if I was up there.
