And for all the training and driving experience of a Bus Operator, you don't even get any consideration from car insurance companies. But guess who does?
Our "first responder's." Along with pension's and added perks and respect.
As "Essential" Personnel," Bus operator's are often left out of the conversation and recognition that is bestowed upon Police, Fire and EMS. That's not taking away from those fields at all, but Transit Bus Operator's deserve the full recognition and benefits for what they do to serve the public and our economies. I suspect it has to do with... "politics."
