Education Transportation Career
Yo! I have a Education Transportation career for you! I really wanted to have something like this in my game so I decided to make one! It’s ten levels and focuses heavily on the handiness and charisma skill and touches lightly on the writing skill. Enjoy!
In the Education Transportation career, you are responsible for transporting students to and from school following a scheduled route and ensuring their safety. Your duties as a bus driver includes ensuring proper vehicle maintenance, observing safety and traffic rules, and maintaining order among students while they are on the bus. As you work your way up that yellow ladder, you’ll find yourself with a little more responsibility but with easier hours and larger paycheck. Kaching! And let’s not forget you’ll be the one in charge… one day. (10 levels)
Level 1: Education Transportation Coursework
You’ve got your own spot in the classroom, but only until you complete all the training hours required and pass your exam! (You can do this!) You’ll spend a few weeks learning all the rules and regulations of operating a school bus and practicing to get your Commercial Driver’s License. Make sure to learn all you can!

Level 2: Education Transportation Shadowing
While you’re waiting to test to obtain to your CDL, you’re shadowing another bus driver. You’ll experience a day in the seat of a bus driver firsthand. You’ll learn the in’s and out’s and pick up valuable tips and tricks along the way. You’re not going to be doing anything other than sitting there, so best use that time wisely and pay attention!

Level 3: Substitute Bus Driver
You did! You earned your CDL! (Did you have any doubt?) You’re officially a bus driver. You’re only filling in when you’re needed right now, but still. You’ll be on different routes each day but hey, you’ll get a head start on learning the route you’ll eventually have full time. Keep those laws and regulations fresh in your mind! And be sure to start practicing that “Sit down and behave before I pull this bus over!” voice, too.

Level 6: Full Time Bus Driver
