Remote Public Transit Bus Drivers typically handle coordination, scheduling, or training tasks remotely, requiring CDL and passenger endorsements, similar to on-site drivers who physically operate buses. The main difference lies in the work environment: remote drivers work virtually, while on-site drivers are physically present on buses. Both roles serve transit agencies but differ in daily tasks and location requirements.
