Bus driver
at VBK
Buses are an ideal means of transport to reach all parts of the city - but they are also part of the already very tight inner-city traffic. This means that drivers need to be particularly attentive and responsible. During a 5-week qualification programme, we will train you optimally to become an important part of our team. If you would like to become part of our team and have a passion for driving buses, we look forward to receiving your application. Yes, all of our advertised positions are current and available.
