Mitigating Driver Shortages in Public Transport: How to Build Better Schedules that Attract and Retain Drivers

Solving the driver shortage requires a new approach to attracting and retaining bus drivers to the public transportation industry.

In this session, participants learnt how to create ‘lifestyle rosters’ and custom schedules that expand the candidate pool and increase drivers’ happiness, leading to more job applications and higher retention rates. This session also included a case study on how one public agency tackled their driver shortage by reducing split shifts and increasing run quality, followed by an Optibus platform demo and live Q&A.
