According to a report, a number of British bus drivers are choosing to switch to the logistics industry due to better wages.
The emigration goes back to the blatant shortage of truck drivers, which is raising wages in the industry, said Bobby Morton of the union Unite on Sunday the broadcaster Sky News.
Like truck drivers, bus drivers would have long shifts and not enough toilets and sanitary facilities.
"So now people think if we have to keep working in these Victorian conditions, we can drive a truck for £ 20 an hour instead of a bus for £ 10," Morton said.
"That's why bus drivers are going to the other branch in droves."
According to the Confederation of Passenger Transport UK, around 4,000 bus drivers are currently missing in Great Britain.
As a result, connections are already canceled on some routes.
The Ministry of Transport said it had already accelerated the procedures for driving tests and provisional bus driving licenses.
The massive shortage of truck drivers has created significant problems in the UK over the past few weeks.
A number of petrol stations were left dry because the fuel could not be transported to them.
Supermarket shelves also remained partially empty.
Many EU drivers returned to their home countries during the pandemic and will not be able to easily live and work in the UK again after Brexit.
The government issued temporary visas to alleviate the situation and let the military help out.
However, there is no real easing of the situation in sight.
