    Passed the Muni bus training, but left the 1st week in the VTA bus training 😂. I couldn’t get it even though I was a transit but operator for 4 years prior. It’s the training for me, I feel like Muni actually took their time with me to adjust.

    Oh, wow, I had no idea we were short on bus drivers too. Maybe pay them more money? Either that or have patrons drive the busses themselves.

    VTA should build bullet proof boxes surround the drivers.

    VTA buses are filled with homeless because VTA has a policy not to enforce fares. Homeless riding the buses all day. Absolutely disgusting having to sit near them.

    i'm a school bus driver for a dayton, OH suburb. it took me several years, but i'm just under $22/hr.. of course, i don't get the hours transit drivers get, but i don't have to work crazy hours and never get a holiday off, either.

    What caused the shortage?

      Many operators have called in sick and tested possitive for COVID-19.

    I don't want to operate no bus but how can I operate a light rail train. ?

      there was just an opening recently that I applied for and passed first round of testing. It will probably open up again soon, just keep an eye on the VTA jobs site

    They so stupid all they just have to do is legalize marijuana and stop drug testing for it for employment.

    Could the shortage have anything to do with the unconstitutional vaccine mandates?

      i've heard a lot of drivers have retired in the past year or will be doing so soon

    VTA, if you're reading this, give a generous sign-on bonus, higher hourly pay, and a place to stay and I'll do it.
