Public transport jobs include drivers for buses, taxis, and other vehicles, as well as boat operators and airline personnel. Mechanics are also needed for ongoing maintenance and repair. Training and licensing requirements vary by industry and region.
Perhaps the most common public transport jobs available are drivers. A driver can operate a bus, taxi, limousine or other public transport vehicle operated on the roads, although there are many other public transport works. In some areas, boat operators are needed to transport people from place to place, and air transport is exceptionally popular with long-distance travelers. Airline pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, security personnel and many others help make the airline industry possible. Many cities also have train and metro systems that require mechanics and operators, as well as ticket takers and customer service agents.
Drivers can operate cars, trucks, buses and other road vehicles carrying passengers. In most cases, these public transport jobs require a driver’s license, while other jobs require the operator to have a specific commercial driver’s license. The operator must, in most cases, have a clean driving record to be considered for these public transport jobs, but requirements can change from region to region.
Other operators do not work on land, but in the air or water. In almost all cases, airline pilots and boat captains will need to undergo extensive training to secure public transport jobs. A boat captain may operate a ferry that transports people and cars, or he or she may operate tour guide boats. Some regions require transport by water rather than by road, in which case the boat captain may pilot a boat of varying size. Airline pilots must be trained both in the classroom and in the air, and must spend a significant amount of time flying aircraft before they can be considered for a position as a commercial airline pilot. If the pilot prefers not to work for an airline, he or she can work as a charter pilot who operates his or her own aircraft. This also requires special licensing and training.
Obviously, the vehicles that drivers operate need ongoing maintenance and repair. Mechanics handle vehicle repairs and maintenance, and depending on the industry, the mechanic may need specific training and education pertaining to repair and maintenance work. Airplane and helicopter mechanics, for example, may need to participate in education that trains the candidate to work on specific aircraft, while car and truck mechanics may need no education other than an apprenticeship and extensive experience working on vehicles.
