Bus Driver / Buses Ratio

Any advice on a bus driver / buses ratio?

If you have the schedule manager unlocked, advance to a future day that hasn't been allocated and see how many sessions you have in total.

I'm relatively new to the game, but I am currently aiming to have about 75% to 85% of this number in drivers.

In my setup, most of my routes will need two "main" shifts per day, not counting the extra busses at rush hour. If these were all I was covering, then I would need one driver per shift if I didn't want them working overtime. Those extra, shorter, rush hour trips complicate matters, which is why I'm aiming at 75 to 85%.

You should be able to configure about 120%
So for every 100 bus you should only need 120 drivers
Equally, you then need about 25 mechanics and 25 cleaners, as this is about 25% of requirement
Note though as you add extra depots this changes

When I have the shift schedule unlocked, I aim to have 10-20% spare drivers compared to the amount of shifts.
