Transit employment encompasses a range of roles within public transportation, including bus drivers, train operators, and maintenance staff. Bus drivers are a specific subset of transit employment focused on operating buses and transporting passengers. While all bus drivers are part of transit employment, not all transit employment roles involve driving. Both roles require similar credentials and work in the public transportation industry, but transit employment offers broader opportunities beyond just driving.
