Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements
Certification or Licensing
There are no certification requirements for public transportation operators. A commercial driver's license is required to work as a bus driver.
Other Requirements
Candidates must meet age, license, and physical requirements for each job. For instance, interstate bus drivers must be at least 21 years old and local transit companies prefer applicants 21 years of age or older. Drivers who operate vehicles designed to transport 16 or more passengers must have a commercial driver's license and must also meet hearing and vision requirements.
