During your daily commute, you suddenly find yourself watching the bus driver and picturing what it would be like to sit in their seat. Instead of riding as a passenger on public transportation, you could be the one behind the wheel, safely transporting tens of thousands of passengers each year. In New York State, the MTA’s Regional Bus Operations oversees more than 300 routes and operates the largest public fleet in the United States. With a Class B Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) and a Passenger (P) Endorsement, you can apply for a bus driver position and drive one of their more than 5,000 buses.

The learning phase is the first stage of your licensing journey. During this time, you will study and master the various aspects of commercial driving theory. They are thoroughly described in the official New York Commercial Driver’s License Manual (New York CDL Handbook 2026), a comprehensive resource that should not be missing from your toolkit. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) advises all aspiring commercial drivers to read this manual multiple times. Dedicate the following days to learning the basics of this subject, and when you’re ready, you can use our practice tests to evaluate your knowledge.
