Stib launches Simbus, a bus driving simulator to recruit new personnel

At the beginning of the year, the Stib announced that it planned to employ more than 800 people, of which 500 new drivers. Already, 700 have been engaged in 2019 and the company said that « By the end of the year, the Stib still wants to recruit about fifty drivers, including 30 bus drivers ».

To recruit new personnel, the transport company launched an app, Simbus, which allows you to put yourself in the shoes of a driver and navigate three existing bus routes. « Users who register a good score are invited to take a quick look at jobs.stib.be, » says Johan Claes, manager at Stib.
