Rules and regulation surrounding safety and public transit use will change depending on the region in which you are interviewing. The hiring authority would like to know that you have at least a basic understanding of the industry before being hired. If you are new to the public transit industry, it is entirely acceptable for your knowledge to be limited. In this case, it is more important that you show a willingness to learn more about the industry.

"I have worked in public transit for fifteen years and am very familiar with the rules and regulations for operators and other employees in this industry. I know that Stagecoach Group will have its own set of regulations laid out which I am more than happy to begin learning. Safety and compliance are topics of utmost importance to me."
