"I am new to the workforce; however, I have a good amount of volunteer work in animal shelters, and a couple of elderly care homes. I have a genuine heart for people who need help and assistance, especially the elderly, those with disabilities, and small children, who cannot always speak up for what they need. I understand that part of working as a bus driving is keeping an eye out for the needs of everyone I serve."

Bus drivers working in public transportation do not just operate a bus. They also deliver essential care and services to the elderly and other vulnerable groups such as children and those with disabilities. The interviewer wants to see that you have compassion for others and a desire to ensure the comfort and safety of each one of your passengers.
Talk to the interviewer about any experience you have working around vulnerable groups. If you are new to your career, take the time to express how you enjoy helping others and extending help and kindness.

"I have worked as a bus driver in both the school system and the public transit system. Many times I noticed someone needing extra help; whether that be with directions, getting on and off the bus, finding something they dropped on the bus or assisting someone confused or lost. I am a caring person but also alert on the job, which means that I will be the first to notice when a passenger needs a bit of extra care from me."
