Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, and a pension, these are the only things

Cons

Micro management, supervisors and dispatch have no clue what day to day operators deal with outside in the bus, threats and attacks on drivers seam to be the norm and no one talks about it anyone is allowed on the bus fare or not. Total bs sop says ask for fare, shows whats expected to be presented and whats not allowed, but dont ask for fare okay which is it free or not free
