Meet Hayley, Chand, Sophie & Hamish, Newport Bus Drivers

Chand

PCV Bus Driver

Newport Transport

'We don’t handle money or clean the buses — just drive and go home. I’ve done 60-hour weeks with regular paid overtime, and the team always looks out for each other. They even sponsored my son’s Taekwondo trip — they really care about us and our families.'

Hayley

PCV Bus Driver

Newport Transport

'The management team are brilliant, their doors always open, and you’re never ignored. The split shifts let me be there for school emergencies and still work full-time. It’s perfect if you enjoy driving, your own space, and a bit of friendly chat. And the electric buses are so comfy, it’s just a nice drive.'

Sophie

PCV Bus Driver

'There’s always overtime if you need a bit extra, and the four-day rota means I sometimes get six days off in a row — that’s quality time with the kids. Once your shift’s done, you just park up and go. This job has really boosted my confidence — it brings you out of your comfort zone.'
