There is someone whose literal job it is to make sure you can’t become a bus driver and there is someone whose literal job it is to make sure maximize your chance of driving a paying fare within countable minutes of engagement with the app. Several hundred someones, actually.https://twitter.com/wwwojtekk/status/1172170022883667974 …

Driving a ten ton bus with fifty or more passengers is qualititively different from walking a dog!

Depends on the dog and how good the muzzle is ;)

This is not a good take, driving a car safely is relatively easy and most people can do it competently, esp with years of driving experience. Driving a 40 or 60 ft (articulated) bus that is 50% wider than a car, smoothly and safely (standing passengers) is a world apart in skill.

I remain in awe of the SF bus drivers who can merge those 60 ft buses in and out of rush hour traffic, around tight turns, and deal professionally with the crazy members of the general public who like to be crazy on buses.

I don't see why barriers in front of other professions imply that any barriers are invalid. In this case I think it makes sense that there is some level of training require prior to driving a massive and complex vehicle. It shouldn't be evaluated along with hairdressing.

Another barrier to entry for bus drivers: in America, if you have more seniority you get the best shifts. When you're just starting out, you're the last one and get to choose what's left. With Uber, you choose your hours.
