They must balance safety with punctuality, ensuring they neither rush nor leave passengers behind. From small 15-seater buses to vehicles accommodating over 100 passengers, these drivers are entrusted with the responsibility of operating a range of vehicles safely.

    The role demands strong customer service and communication skills, along with the ability to manage diverse groups of passengers effectively.
