How to become a subway operator?

To become a subway operator, you need a high school diploma. Most operators are hired from within their company and employees are trained on-the-job to gain experience. Specialty training programs may be needed for certain trains, and qualifications and classroom training are also provided if necessary or if the state requires it. Earning an entry-level job can lead to a lifelong career. Operators are trained to run the streetcar or subway trains, but their duties also include troubleshooting for maintenance problems, interacting with passengers, and maintaining safety and security regulations.
