Benefits

You’ll earn $27.59 per hour to start with annual pay increases and outstanding benefits. If you work second or third shift, you’ll earn up to $29.52 per hour. That’s on top of a $5,000 bonus if you have your CDL (with passenger endorsement and no air brake restriction) or a $3,000 bonus for those without a CDL.

There's no experience required - we'll give you the PAID training you need to acquire your Commercial Driver's License Permit (CLP) and Commercial Driver's License (CDL) and more! And you'll also receive benefits, such as health care, a pension plan, an unlimited-ride transit pass. Plus, there are growth opportunities. Many Metro Transit managers started their careers as bus drivers.
