WHAT DOES A BUS DRIVER DO?
Ingsva’s recruitment manager Mikael and bus drivers Linda and Kari answer the most common questions about the profession!
WHAT DOES A BUS DRIVER DO?
Robin Hofman, 23 years Bus driver in Närpes
I drive school traffic, scheduled traffic, charter services, and taxi. Usually, I drive minibuses but I like driving charter because it gives me the chance to see Europe.
Why I became a bus driver: I previously worked as a taxi driver and wanted to try driving larger vehicles. I applied for vocational training for bus drivers and here I am now!
The best part of my job: The sense of freedom! The opportunity for variety in the work and that it offers you so many different experiences even though it’s a permanent job.
The most challenging part of my job: Being able to read traffic situations in a safe way while having a lot of passengers that I have to handle in a professional way.
WHAT DOES A BUS DRIVER DO?
Lis-Britt Bredero, 57 years Bus driver in Jakobstad
I drive school traffic and charter service.
Why I became a bus driver: I worked for a long time in the restaurant industry and during the pandemic, I had enough of the constant layoffs. I wanted to find a job with better pay where I didn’t have to run on concrete floors all day, and now I’m a bus driver and enjoying it very much.
The best part of my job: I like to dress up and I get to do that as a bus driver. It doesn’t feel like a job either, which is probably the best part!
The most challenging part of my job: Keeping the timetables when the weather is really bad. I always put safety first, so sometimes when it’s slippery on the roads and snowing vertically, there may be small delays.

Amdi Truda, 52 years Bus driver in Jakobstad
I drive school traffic and charter service.
Why I became a bus driver: I was previously an entrepreneur in the construction industry and wanted a job that was less taxing on the body and where I didn’t have to walk around in dirty clothes all the time.
The best part of my job: It’s social. I like people and like to joke with my passengers.
The most challenging part of my job: Memorizing and learning new routes.
