“We serve over 150 lines and continuously invest in fleet renewal and staff qualification,” emphasizes the company’s management in a statement.

The selection process takes place entirely online, eliminating the need for in-person submission of resumes, which facilitates access for candidates from different regions of the city.
According to OT Trans, this measure speeds up the screening process and makes it more transparent and efficient.
After registration, selected profiles for driver, mechanic, and other positions will be invited for in-person interviews and practical evaluation stages, according to the intended position.

Compensation and benefits offered vary according to the position, following the parameters of the regional market and the collective labor agreement for the category.
Although the company does not openly disclose salary amounts, sector unions estimate that the average salary for public transport drivers in Salvador is around R$ 2,800 monthly, plus transportation vouchers, meal vouchers, and health insurance.
Other positions such as mechanics and electricians also come with similar benefits, in line with industry practices.
