Subject: Application for an urban bus driver position, [City] network
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am applying for the bus driver position on the [City] network operated by [Company]. I hold licence D and the passenger FIMO, obtained in [year], and I have driven urban buses for [x] years with [Previous operator].
On my current lines, which cross the town centre and two university campuses, I deal every day with heavy traffic and very different passengers. Last winter a passenger became aggressive over a ticket check; I stopped at a safe place, spoke calmly, alerted the control room and the situation was settled without anyone being hurt. I also assist wheelchair users several times a day with the ramp.
I work on rotating duties, including early mornings, evenings and Sundays, and I know the importance of being on time at the depot when a colleague depends on it. The extension of your network towards [district] and your new fleet of [electric or hybrid] buses interest me.
A driving test on one of your lines would let you judge my driving directly; I can come to the depot on any day that suits your planning.
Yours faithfully,[First name Last name][Phone number]
