• How many bus drivers do you currently employ.
• What is the wage that your bus drivers get paid.
• How many operational staff or other staff involved in running your buses (so anyone involved in your bus operation other than bus drivers) do you employ.
• What is the wage that these other bus employees (eg operational staff or anyone else involved in your bus operation other than bus drivers) get paid.
