Meet Greg.

Before he joined Newcastle Transport as a Bus Operator in November last year, he was running his own film production business.

So why bus driving? “It’s a new challenge,” he says.

“There are people here from all walks of life, and very different industries, from across the globe.

“There are great opportunities but also great challenges. It’s a matter of attitude. The key for me is that I enjoy being part of this community.”
