West Vancouver (Blue Buses) has their version of this job now posted!

Their job title is TRANSIT SERVICE TECHNICIAN and I think you must already have a class #2 license.

Great time to consider transit jobs! 10 year plan to improve and expand service. New depot coming to Vancouver, going to try out double deckers on hwy 99 routes, light rail planned for Surrey

Over 7,000 employees, and hiring hundreds more each year!
