Total respect for the job these ladies do, a 36 foot long vehicle is a big deal- especially through narrow suburban and heavy city centre traffic. 👍

My sister just passed her exam for the bus company. I'm so proud of her! I love that she's not afraid to take the jobs that are held primary by men. Shes my warrior!!!

She said she got into it by accident, not that the application process was. But either way she is not wrong. You are.
accident 2 an event that happens by chance or that is without apparent or deliberate cause.
