A teenager who has qualified as a Greater Manchester bus driver at just 19-years-old says his dream has come true.
The Stockport teen then went on to qualify as a bus driver by earning his passenger carrying vehicle licence – now operating school and public service buses after passing all his tests at the first attempt.In addition to his role as a transport consultant, Tobi regularly drives school buses on Greater Manchester routes and public services operated by Belle Vue, including the 391 and 392 between Stockport and Macclesfield and the 280 between Altrincham and Partington.
"It's great to be out on the road and meeting the passengers. Belle Vue prides itself on having a great rapport with passengers, and I love being part of that. People often comment how nice it is to see a young driver. Phil Hitchen, managing director of Belle Vue, said: "From his days as a school student, Tobi has advanced with the company through roles as a bus planner and operations assistant, and has now attained his goal of qualifying as a bus driver.
"His encyclopaedic knowledge of our routes, coupled with his attention to detail, ensures that our operations run smoothly day in and day out. He's an integral part of our team.
