Training City Bus Drivers for Better Passenger Experience
Introduction
Public buses are the lifelines of Indian cities, used daily by millions. Yet, the quality of the passenger experience depends heavily on one factor: the driver. At Hubert Ebner India, we recognize that city bus driver are not just vehicle operators—they are public service providers.
🚌 Why Passenger Experience Matters
Passengers judge bus services based on:
- Smooth and safe driving
- Timely arrivals and departures
- Polite behavior and clear communication

- Dealing with impatient passengers or fare disputes
