Bus Driver Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last eight years driving buses on busy city routes and I’ve learned that safety and reliable service go hand in hand. In my last role I carried passengers across a 12 kilometre loop every weekday, keeping to the timetable and responding calmly to changes in traffic. I run a clean bus, and I prioritise smooth stops and clear communication with passengers. I keep daily logs accurate and up to date, which helps the depot plan the next shift with less guesswork. I’m confident in fare collection and customer service, and I understand the importance of clear route information for riders. I’m comfortable using electronic payment systems and issuing tickets, and I’ve helped passengers who are unsure about schedules or transfers. I’ve worked with supervisors to implement minor route changes to improve on time performance, and I’m prepared to adapt to new procedures at [Company Name]. One recent shift stands out. We had a bus fault mid-route and I followed the fault procedure, relayed the issue to head office, and diverted to a nearby stop while keeping passengers informed. The incident was logged, and we still finished the day with minimal delay on the timetable. That kind of resilience and attention to passenger safety is what I bring to the role. I’m available for discussion at your convenience and can start soon. I’d be glad to visit [Company Name] and talk through how I can contribute to keeping everyday travel reliable for your riders. Kind regards, [Your Name]
