I'm having a mid-career crisis and highly considering joining the ranks of RS Bus Drivers.

What do I need to apply and when is the next intake?

Then you too can post on RS and flex your number starting with 8XXXX!

Just need a RS seabus/bcferry driver, westcoast express train driver and skytrain operator and RS got translink connects

Saaaaame here. I hate my accounting job so much, but I don't want a $50k paycut :(

2026 Goals :fuckyea:

Well it’s only 25k if you consider the taxes hahahah

How your taxes are used:
15% - Education / Schools
15% - Community Health / Indigenous Services
20% - Local Infrastructure project / Roads
50% - Translink Operations :fuckyea:

(This is not real)

instead of being bus operators, why dont y'all become garbage men? Throwing away trash will
1) help your innate Guangdong hoarding tendencies
2) give you a manly musk
3) You're done by mid day
4) you get a free workout!

plus if anyone ask, youre in sanitation, it instantly sounds like you're part of the mob or something.... yeah yeah im in sanitation..... Jesus Christ, okay, ill just go over here now.

Lmao by the time he gets in... Probably 90xxx

It’s like 99% brown guys now. How soon before they crash a bus into an overpass ?

Wow that's not racist at all!

Serive Design is the gig you want to get into... but i think its too late for me....

What's your projected annual gross salary for this year? :accepted:

Fuk I don't even know how much Im getting paid. I don't think I'm at full rate yet. Need 2+ years to get the $40 an hour or whatever it is.

But if you get some seniority and do lots of OT in Vancouver depot, you can easily make 100k+

mainstream racism

$128k after 9 years in public practice accounting right now and it's dreadful. I would do go down to $100k to do something else (in accounting?) since I only have that type of experience.

Apply for Translink accounting roles or industry roles, with 9 years in PA you should have no problem finding a chill role.

Hmm...

I'm not that far off from you then.

I'm currently on pay period 23 and sitting at 100k gross

The work I sign seasonally has built in over time, and also sometimes I'll pick up an extra shift here and there

So who was stuck in this mess for their morning commute?

A driver that crabs with us. His tranny blew and fluid everywhere.

What a miss opportunity.....

He blew his tranny........ :fuckyea:

So with TypeR Nammer on pay period 23 he's over 100k

i only drove for 2years and 9 months.
my projection for the year is roughly $93k to 94k

dats pretty good for trying to run people over on the public's dime. carmageddon for all!

Is the buslife the same schedule as an office worker 5 days a week or is it more like 2 weeks on 2weeks off?

Today I Learned: My entire career has been a huge mistake and instead, I should have become a TransLink bus driver.
