Need a Job? Watch METRO Matters TV Show

With the unemployment rate climbing to 10.2 percent, you or someone you know may be looking for a job.

METRO has openings for part-time bus operators. If you're a people person, we'll train you and help you get your commercial driver's license.  Never driven anything bigger than a compact car? No worries. We have simulators and hours of training. By the time you're behind the wheel of one of our buses, you'll be a confident and safe driver.

Watch METRO Matters and hear Irene Mingle of our human resources department give you the nuts and bolts of becoming a METRO bus operator.

If you want to apply, please go on-line and click here. If you have a friend who is interested but doesn't have Internet access or isn't computer savvy, drop by our building at 1900 Main St. and tell the security guard you're here to apply for a bus operator position.

You'll be directed to a second-floor office where you can use a computer to apply - and a friendly staff person will give you any needed help.
