Definitely not 9-5. This is what makes this job really good for some. You can set your schedule. You can pick any 2 days off, day, mid, night, or split shift, Vancouver depot has compressed work so you drive more hours in a day and get 3 days off. Some work you only take on the routes of drivers on vacation, so you get a new route every week. Another is you can.be on a spareboard and get different routes every day.
Lots of work has built in OT too so you drive 8 hours but get paid 10 for example. Of course you'll need seniority to get good work like that.
It's very versatile.
Edit. Also heard from union rep sky train attendant is really chill. They currently get more than us and just sit in the station and play games on their phones. But you have to have the stomach of picking up squished bodies if anyone jumps...
