Has anyone seen a factual comparison of salary and benefits for metro bus drivers compared to other, similar lines of work?
I am wondering how bus driver compensation compares to a metro area UPS driver, a greyhound driver or a tour bus operator ? Also, when there are openings for bus driver positions, how many people apply for each opening? How does that compare to the number of people who apply for a Greyhound driver job? I believe bus drivers should be paid fairly, but I haven't seen any news articles that provide real comparative information. They usually focus on what the union says, or what a particular politician says. It would be nice to see some facts. -- Bob Treumann, Saint Paul Please Note: Replies to this email address all go to the trash except where the subject line contains a recognized mailing list identifier, such as [TCMETRO] _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Metropolitan Issues Forum http://www.e-democracy.org/tcmetro Rules: Sign posts with real name.
