Mass Transit Jobs

Post Reply New Topic

I might look towards a career in mass transit...what jobs could I do in that field?

The biggest jobs would be subway train operator or bus driver. Bus driver would be good if you can put up with people. Subway train operator would be good if you are not good with people because you usually do not have to put up with people. Train engineer may be another good job.

Train conductor may not be a good job because there is alot involved with that. I also would not be a subway conductor because most systems are phasing that job out.

Just don't pull a Darius McCollum please.

But I have vision problems which will prevent me from even driving a car, let alone a bus...I'm 20/70 corrected in my right eye, and 20/100 corrected in my left eye...what can I get for that?

You could be a bus dispatcher - the person in the office who has every bus driver on two-way radio so they can make sure everyone's on schedule and in the right place at the right time...

Then I could put the newest buses on the routes I use...

My dad works as a dispatcher for a mass transit company, he makes quite a good income. He started off as a driver, he is a suspected aspie, and he got a job there because of his fasination with buses.
