Trades & Transit
Bus operators, train operators, and transit workers in Canadian public transit authorities.
These are total earnings actually disclosed — including overtime, shift premiums and retroactive pay, not base salary. Each province only publishes public-sector staff earning above a set threshold (Ontario $100,000, BC $75,000, Manitoba $85,000, Alberta ~$155,176), so anyone paid less is excluded and the averages skew high — most of all for roles whose standard pay sits near that threshold.
What the collective-agreement wage grid actually pays, before overtime — the disclosed averages above are not base salary.

Looking for a specific person or employer?
Bus/transit operator (starting rate to top rate) at a representative major transit authority per province; base rate only, excludes overtime, split-shift and premiums. Standard hours differ (TTC 40h/wk vs others 37.5h/wk), so annual figures are not directly comparable; BC and Alberta minimums are the trainee rate.
