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.

Talk about safety records in the interview. Bus companies want to hear about zero accidents and on-time runs.
Mention the number of passengers you have driven and the vehicle type, like "65-seater" or "22-seater midibus".
