Google had a plethora of knowledge. With that said,I asked,what does a bus driver make per hr.? Here are the answers;top earners $58,629 or $28.00per hr., 75th percentile $49,346or $24.00per hr., average $38,466 or $18.00 & finally in the 25th percentile $31,269 or $15.00 per hr. This info is in the state of NJ. Oh,by the way,these are facts not untruths. Also,the average for a CDL truck driver is $56,889 or $27.45 per hr. It did not say we give you a pension/insurance.
