  5. SwissInfo: All aboard? Let the yodelling begin with ‘Sämi the singing driver’. “‘Sämi, will you yodel for us?’ asks a little boy, striped shirt and cowhide belt tightly around his waist, as soon as he gets on board. This request is repeated three times. Then, after picking up the last tourist, Zumbrunn sings a yodel and immediately the buzz on the bus dies down. While the last notes are […]

  6. Reminder that #busdrivers appreciate a #greeting going in and out. They drive everyone around all day so you can jump on and get out. Some small acknowledgement they aren't robots but #people working hard for you isn't a bad thing.

    Unless your bus is actually driven by robots I guess. Then I didn't say anything.

    Yes, I did just get in a bus where everyone else just completely ignored the driver going in. Not even worth a look away from their #phones apparently 🥲.

  7. Under the current contract between the #ATU and #RFTA workers cannot strike this year. If no agreement is reached by January 1, 2025 workers will strike at midnight on New Year’s Day, one of the busiest days in the organization’s schedule.

  8. I absolutely respect bus drivers' right to not have to put themselves in danger collecting fares. But the best solution would be to just do what I've been advocating for the subway, as well:

    Don't have a fare.

    Make it free to ride. Just pay for the whole thing with taxes. (Congestion pricing would help with that, and fuck Gov. Hochul.)

  13. #Iran: The syndicate of the #BusDrivers unit company condemned the accusation of "blasphemy" against #Sharifeh Mohammadi, a labor activist from Rasht and announced: "There is no doubt that this accusation is false and shameful, an independent civil and labor activist has been faced with a heavy accusation that they themselves know. It does not have a grain of truth."

    سندیکای شرکت واحد #اتوبوس‌رانی، ‌اتهام «بغی» علیه #شریفهمحمدی، فعال کارگری اهل رشت را محکوم و اعلام کرد: «در کذب و شرم‌آور بودن این‌اتهام شکی نیست، یک فعال کارگری و مدنی مستقل را با‌ اتهام سنگینی روبه‌رو کرده‌اند که خودشان هم می‌دانند از ذره‌ای حقیقت برخوردار نیست.»

  14. Home from the Roadeo, cleaned up and tired. GREAT event this year, ran smoothly, no hiccups or calamities. We give six prizes: First, Second, and Third place, Fastest Time, Best Wheelchair Securement Score, and Rookie of the Year for drivers competing for the first time. Same first-place winner as last year (his fifth, and he's going for ten), but it was sweet seeing our Rookie of the Year, a young driver from Howard County, also winning Second Place. It was heartwarming to see him so happy and proud, and his coworkers all cheering for him. He takes his job seriously and it gives me joy to know there are public transit drivers out there like him. Our Best Wheelchair Securement winner was a sweet lady who got a PERFECT score and they tell me she's known in her agency as the best one for dealing with people in mobility devices.

    Met folks from all around the state, and I do seem to attract the western MD folks around me. But now? I'm a wreck. A WRECK. Don't bug me for a while.

  19. And what's a Roadeo, you ask? It's a competition for bus drivers from around the state, testing their abilities. It includes a safety inspection, proper mobility device securement, and an obstacle course that drivers must negotiate safely. This all promotes safety and skill in the world of public transit, and the winners go on to a national competition.

  24. Hopping on a #bus to return to your #hometown during #festive #holidays may soon become a thing of the past if nothing is done to halt the declining number of bus drivers

    With at least 5,000 #vacancies to fill, it has been suggested that the government offer free #training to those interested in becoming #busdrivers

    The #shortage was expected to become more severe with each passing year

  30. When #CarCulture meets #LivingWithCovid, it's kids who suffer.

    Our infatuation with #driving has made it nearly impossible for #kids to #walk or #bike to #school safely. And our steadfast refusal to admit that #CovidIsNotOver means school districts finding themselves without enough healthy #BusDrivers to keep school buses running.

    In #ChapelHillNC, kids without a ride to school are being denied multiple days' worth of instructional time.

  31. Local Council #recruitment and #marketing #fail : they paid to put ads below a YouTube video (a young lad uploading an action camera film of his drive around the local area) asking for #BusDrivers for a new community service ; but only want to hire those who already have D1 group (small bus) on their driving licence - so they would only be poaching existing bus drivers (of which there is a shortage) or folk over 42 years old (who if they wanted to drive a bus would likely already be doing so)
