British bus drivers are tempted by high salaries to switch to truck drivers. What are the consequences?

During this period, there has been an oil shortage in Britain. The fundamental reason is that there is a shortage of truck drivers in Britain, and the shortage has been going on for four months. Now this employer has successfully spread to other industries. Some bus drivers, lured by the high salary of truck drivers, decided to jump ship and drive trucks.

First, the annual salary of truck drivers

Due to the shortage of truck drivers, the first-line road freight forwarders offered an annual salary of up to 78, pounds, that is, 684, yuan, which was much higher than the average annual income of bus drivers of 32,5 pounds. Such high income made some bus drivers decide to quit their jobs, resulting in the shortage of staff on some major bus lines, which eventually led to the failure of operation, and some bus companies were forced to reduce the frequency of departure.

second, how many bus drivers are needed at present?

Because of the high salary of truck drivers, many bus drivers have chosen to quit their jobs. Now the bus companies in Britain are short of bus drivers. The most affected areas include Scotland, Bristol in the northeast of England and southern Gloucestershire. Take an area in the north of England as an example. There is a shortage of 25 bus drivers in this area, so there may be a shortage of about 4, bus drivers in the whole UK. Only when all 4, flat bus drivers are in place can the normal operation of the public transport system in the whole UK be guaranteed.

Third, the importance of truck drivers

Truck drivers have a very important function, which is to meet everyone's logistics needs in fuel, food and medicine. In order to attract more truck drivers in a short time, the British government has issued a number of policies, including simplifying the procedures for obtaining truck drivers' licenses and encouraging heavy truck drivers, including bus drivers, to return to their posts. In short, we should either rob people from other industries or let truck drivers get their certificates faster.
