How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Pietermaritzburg; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

Write "PrDP P valid until" with the date, right at the top of your CV. It is the first thing a bus operator checks.
Mention the number of passengers you have driven and the vehicle type, like "65-seater" or "22-seater midibus".
