Bus Driver

Service

Bus Drivers in India operate public-sector city buses (KSRTC, MSRTC, BMTC, TNSTC, DTC and other State Road Transport Corporations), private intercity coaches (KSRTC private, RedBus operator fleets, Neeta Travels, SRS Travels), school buses contracted to CBSE or ICSE schools, and corporate employee-shuttle services run by IT campuses and SEZs across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, and Chennai. The core job is operating a heavy-motor vehicle (HMV) bus safely on assigned routes — following the schedule, collecting or validating tickets (or managing digital ticketing via state apps like BMTC m-ticket), managing passenger boarding and alighting at stops, and completing shift logs. State RTC drivers must pass a structured HMV licence test, a departmental driving assessment, and a route familiarisation period before taking independent charge. School and corporate-shuttle drivers are additionally screened for character certificates and prior traffic violations given their passenger profile. Entry is accessible after Class 8–10 with HMV endorsement and clean traffic record; career ceiling reaches fleet supervisor, assistant traffic manager, or driving-instructor positions at larger SRTCs.
