A Class 2 license allows you to operate buses that seat more than 24 passengers, including school buses, transit buses, and motor coaches. It also covers Class 4 and Class 5 vehicles, allowing you to drive smaller buses, shuttles, and standard passenger vehicles. With a Q Endorsement, you’re qualified to operate air brake-equipped buses, and with an S Endorsement, you’re certified to transport students in a school bus setting. Whether you’re driving city routes, long-distance tours, or school pickups, a Class 2 license with the proper endorsements unlocks a wide range of career opportunities in Alberta’s passenger transport industry.
