Beyond restrictions, reduced service, and drops in ridership, the industry lost hundreds and hundreds of bus operators.\r\n\nTwo years on, the industry is trying to get back on its feet but is stymied by a lack of people to drive the buses and trains.\r\n\nKristi Urich, Product Director for Workforce Management at Trapeze (see the WM solutions for https://www.trapezegroup.com/transit-operations-management (bus )and https://www.trapezegroup.com/solutions-rail/operations (rail)) has some big ideas--and some pretty revolutionary ones at that--for how to attract and retain drivers.\r\n\nAll this on this week's Inside Trapeze.\r\n\nRead Kristi's post going into more detail about the topic--https://www.trapezegroup.com/blog-entry/3-new-ideas-to-tackle-the-critical-bus-operator-shortage (3 New Ideas to Tackle the Critical Bus Operator Shortage).\r\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/fc78cf26-e9c6-40d9-aae8-5460d5638ae6/21463476-1655770049047-0d1fb7f5b617f.jpg"}
