"Since I am a new driver, with less than one year of experience, I do not have a lot of exposure to driving in larger cities with heavy traffic. So long as I have a few ride-along opportunities first, I am confident that I could handle a task like that with ease."

As a bus driver, it's your responsibility to remain calm and collected behind the wheel. The hiring authority needs to know that you can handle traffic congestion with ease. Mention the cities you have driven in, and what type of traffic you have handled in the past.
If you are a newer driver, it is okay to be a little uneasy about driving in bigger cities with a lot of traffic. The interviewer will likely provide you with a few extra ride alongs to ensure you are comfortable before being sent out alone. Rather than stating your are uneasy or stressed out in these situations, let them know you are less experienced in this area and would appreciate additional training.

"As an experienced bus driver, I have a great deal of experience in traffic of all kinds. When traffic is congested, I drive smart and safe. My goal is to get out of the congestion as quickly as possible. I keep my timeline in mind, without putting myself or anyone else at risk."
