get used to this. it's easier and cheaper to hire 3 part time students for jobs, than a full time canadian employee. these immigrants are subsidized 50% wages and it's cheaper for the employer not to pay benefits!
A g7 country like Canada should have a world class public transit. The government talks about reducing emissions but the fact of the matter is that public transportation is the most effective way to reduce emissions
Also, there are thousands of people even with a college diploma looking for jobs. Now, freshly graduated students with a diploma do not even care about major related field to work at. Make the positions full time.
As someone who lives in this city, it's just as bad if not worse than described. The bus going to the college gets so full I can't bring my service dog with me all the time because no one will let me sit down with him so he can't get under a seat like he's supposed to. I've had to press my hand on the frozen window of the bus to cause pain in hopes of keeping myself from passing out because it's so crowded I can't keep the circulation in my lower extremities moving properly (I have issues with fainting when standing up and standing too long, hence the service dog). Like other people have said. Offering full time will change the shortage. So unless you like dealing with complaints sent to you on a regular basis, fix your hiring process. Must of had a bunch of drivers recently quit for there to be a sudden shortage so bad it's getting media attention!
Should have a BRT System on the major routes with dedicated lanes and new rolling stock for those routes with high frequency pickups like every ten minutes. Only in a dream would the serve up the money to start a light rail system on CN's corridor. So that's why I say the should have some of their routes be converted into dedicated BRT routes. The mainline route makes sense. a new route for BRT up all the way Balmoral corridor to the college university and hospital every ten minutes also make sense. But memorial corridor would end up stopping at algoma as that would bottle neck. but a dedicated route from the intercity area to algoma would alleviate congestion. the problem is frequency. It's such driver centric city and give bus drivers a full time job.
The may need a phone call at their main terminal because they don't know how to follow the hours of making sound in the city the main terminal causes many disturbance late at night
you need a Ontario AZ/CZ license and be trained on operating the bus. you need good communications skills, work ethic and self-initiative. if you cant have all that then you're just going to make the province more depressing to live in. please, learn canadian culture
Trudeau should send the military to Thunder Bay to operate their public transit system.😂😂 Pretty sure soldiers who drive tanks have the license to drive transit buses. Former Toronto Mayor Mel Lastman requested the military to help dig Toronto out of a snow storm a couple years back but what does he know he oversaw a bankrupt Bad Boy Furniture Store Chain.😂😂
driving a tank is alot different from a bus so no military might not be able to because its a completely different procedure. tanks usually have wet pack disc brakes that are heavily sophisticated (can be up to 8 or more drive discs) and are hydraulic. buses are air brakes and require their own license to operate in ontario. not to mention tanks are 11 to 12ft wide and 20 - 30ft long - while city buses are about 8ft wide and 40ft long
Bus drivers shouldn't be a part time job. Give them good pay and full time positions.
🇨🇦 🧂
but the city council here rides the gravy train and keeps giving themselves raises!
If those driver jobs were full time I think they’d be filled. Most people need full time jobs as part time positions won’t pay the bills.
This! Most people don’t want to have to work 3 part time jobs, and would rather work 1 full time job

Same situation is in St. John’s Newfoundland although it’s the capital of the province. Hope you guys will cover it too.

only CANADIAN students. int'l students are stripping jobs away from eager canadians and brewing the downfall of this country
Want more drivers? Give them full time hours with benefits right off the bat. This is an avoidable problem caused by the city.
Great job keeps it up

Hello my friends, how are you?
and i thought durham region was bad
The may need a phone call at their main terminal because they don't know how to follow the hours of making sound in the city the main terminal causes many disturbance late at night
17 Part time positions? Let me guess don't want to pay for employee benefits so they limit the hours
Look up the history of Los Angeles' Bus Riders Union, they did great work in improving the system while reducing prices.
athunder bay doesnt have that population.
One bus driver threaten me because I was kind of drunk and indigenous
❤😊
I am from Pakistan I have heavy driving licence and bachelor degree qualification how I can apply in this job

too many designated immigrants.

also not to mention a tank can pivot on its own due to its tracks while a bus has a turning radius of up to 45ft
A little off topic, but how did this genius scientists make the school buses smoke so much?? what happened to clean diesel😂😂😂
Clean diesel was never a thing. Look up VW and Dieselgate.
