There are specific characteristics and qualities that every bus driver should possess, including being patient and attentive. The interviewer wants to know which characteristics you feel are most important as a bus driver and that you will bring these specific qualities to the workplace. Be sure to address any particular needs the organization may have mentioned in their job posting, showing the interviewer how your characteristics will be a fit.

"I see in your job posting that you are looking for a driver who is consistent, reliable, patient, caring, and empathetic to others. These are all characteristics that I take pride in having. I am a good bus driver because I am patient with others and empathetic to their needs. For instance, if an older person is struggling to get onto the bus, I will help them rather than be frustrated that they are holding up my day. The more consistent I am in my work ethic and my attitude, the happier my passengers will be."
