Training to become a bus driver | Zeist

What will you do?

Freedom, being on the road, and lots of contact with people. If that suits you, then a job as a bus driver could be your next destination. In this role, you ensure every day that our passengers reach their destinations safely and comfortably. Do you have no prior experience as a bus driver and no D license? No worries.

As a bus driver (in training) at Transdev – the largest mobility company in the Netherlands – no two days are the same.

As a bus driver, you are a familiar face for our passengers: reliable, committed, and friendly. They can count on you through thick and thin. They board your bus with peace of mind because you ensure they reach their destination comfortably and on time. You will, of course, drive fixed routes according to an existing timetable, but we will give you the freedom to do your work your way. With freedom, responsibility, and ample opportunities for self-development.

A responsible and social role, in which you:

• Drive punctually and safely
• Take care of the passengers

Furthermore, we ask:

• A valid B driver's license
