BUS DRIVER IN THE CITY. AN OCCUPATION WITH HIGH RISK TO HEALTH

STADSBUSCHAUFFEUR, EEN BEROEP MET HOGE RISICO'S VOOR DE GEZONDHEID

Some epidemiological studies which underline the theory of an extra ageing of bus drivers are discussed. The importance of the major stress factors of this occupation is discussed. A study made by the author is concerned with severe stress effects on drivers who have already undergone the ageing process for some time. Finally some critical notes on the new tariff plan for public transport in the Netherlands are given. (TRRL)
