Passenger Transport Operative Level 2

ST0339

The Passenger Transport Operative apprenticeship is suitable for people who are in starting roles with a responsibility to provide customer service within the safety critical transport environment. The broad purpose of the occupation is to help customers travel to their destinations.

A Passenger Transport Operative helps customers travel safely, on time and in comfort from the beginning to the end of their chosen journey. Passenger transport operatives work within safety-critical environments. They provide high quality services to customers, ensuring that safety, customer care, and commercial standards are met. They assist other staff and identify customer needs, particularly during a disruption in service.

The role of Passenger Transport Operative sometimes takes place on board vehicles. They may be required to check tickets, and in some situations also sell a limited range of tickets. Their main responsibility is to keep the travel environment safe for all who use it. They must monitor and respond to live events, from passenger issues to delays. Finally, dispatch operatives work on the platform. They receive, turn around and dispatch vehicles in line with set procedures. They also have to monitor and respond to activity happening within the station or platform, such as overcrowding. They have the power to stop a vehicle when required to maintain safety. These three occupations work together in teams to provide a seamless service that allows fare paying passengers to safely access their chosen transport to their destination.
