bus driver

Public transport pilot

A bus driver is a person who operates a bus, transporting passengers along a fixed route or to a chartered destination.

The term applies whether the vehicle carries schoolchildren, city commuters, or tourists: The bus driver announced each stop.

In American slang, to be in the driver's seat means to be in control—bus drivers literally are.
