Philippine bus driver arrives in Budapest after an intensive Hungarian language course
23 Filipino bus drivers have arrived in Budapest for cultural and professional training before starting in their new job.
As we reported earlier, Arrivabus Ltd. is actively seeking to hire expatriates to fill the labour shortage. The 23 drivers from the Philippines will soon begin their work in Budapest.
The company, which is heavily involved in the capital, has chosen the Southeast Asian signallers with the assistance of a local partner. The selected drivers have already arrived in Hungary and are scheduled to start work in January.
In the Philippines, English is one of the two official languages, so they are proficient in this language in addition to their native tongue. However, there is still an issue as many Hungarians do not speak any foreign language, particularly among the elderly.
The 23 newly recruited drivers have started their preparations for working in Budapest. Over the next few weeks, they will undergo an intensive Hungarian language course, alongside cultural and professional training.
For the time being, their employment contracts are for two years. They have left their families back at home in a bid to earn more money in Hungary. According to Arriva, they will receive a net monthly salary of HUF 434,000 (EUR 1,146.31), as reported by 24.hu.

great news
Avid user of our wonderful public transport system, my personal opinion, providing my NEEDS, in Budapest, muchly “spoilt” residing in District 5, it will be interesting, the greeting welcoming on board by front door only of our public buses, expressed by our new drivers.
My personal opinion again, from my travel experiences, cruise ships and nearer to home on OBB Sleeper Overnight trains out of Vienna, the people of the Philippines, are extremely gracious accompanied with a BIG smile.
We don’t always get that with our “home grown” drivers, who in number could be considered candidates for NEED of attending an Anger Management course, or at least a SMILE.
This is how it started in Western Europe, the (political) elite started with importing small numbers of “guest workers” and after that family reunion was allowed. Then huge numbers of non-European migrants were imported, which created the multiethnic hell of today.
A very bad development. Soon they will be allowed to bring their families and attack more non-European so-called “guest workers”. Mark my words!
The fake nationalist Fidesz government is creating huge non-European minorities since they are in power.
Very bad development! No Hungarians for Ft 434000 Netto a month???
The start of what happened in Western Europe!
Fidesz is creating non-European minorities since they are in power.
