To thrive as a Weekend Bus Driver, you need a valid commercial driver's license (CDL), a clean driving record, and knowledge of traffic laws and safe driving practices. Familiarity with fare collection systems, GPS navigation, and sometimes basic vehicle maintenance tools is typically required. Excellent customer service, patience, and strong communication skills set standout drivers apart in managing diverse passengers and unexpected situations.

Compensation depends on the company's policies and the specific schedule assigned to the driver.
