What TheBus asks for

  • TheBus operators are hired by Oahu Transit Services (OTS), which runs TheBus and TheHandi-Van; OTS says previous public transit or transportation experience is beneficial but not required, and it provides comprehensive training. (source)
  • The Bus Operator posting requires a high school diploma and a valid Hawaii State driver’s license with a clean traffic abstract; a CDL A or B with passenger endorsement, or a CDL B permit with passenger endorsement, is preferred rather than required. (source)
  • Applicants must pass a company-administered exam and an oral interview, and then a company-sponsored medical examination and drug screening. (source)
  • Training is paid: the posting lists $22.00 an hour during training, rising to $32.26 an hour on graduation (rates as posted in September 2026). (source)
