WHAT DOES A BUS DRIVER DO?
Ingsva’s recruitment manager Mikael and bus drivers Linda and Ivar answer the most common questions about the profession!
WHAT DOES A BUS DRIVER DO?
Ivar Hagström, 25 years Bus driver in Jakobstad
I drive school buses and train buses, among other things.
That’s why I became a bus driver. I’ve always enjoyed being out in traffic and everything to do with vehicles.
The best thing about my job is probably meeting so many different people. Then you also get to see an incredible amount as a bus driver, both in the city and in the countryside.
Most challenging thing about your job? Trying to keep schedules in bad weather conditions can be very difficult and stressful, but safety and that customers feel calm and secure with us are the most important things.
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.
WHAT DOES A BUS DRIVER DO?
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.
