John Duffy is a free-lance, commentary tour coach captain based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. He offers a range of services to the coach and bus industry, as an accredited driver trainer/assessor and passenger transport industry consultant.

John has been awarded the Professional of the Year from CILTA Awards for Excellence 2014 and Road Transport Trainee of the Year from the TLISC Awards for Excellence 2014.

He has driven in every type of Australian bus environment (including tour/charter, school/route, snow and mining/industrial), except 4WD.

He is a member of the Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport Australia [CILTA], Australian Driver Trainers Assoc [ADTA], and the Professional Tour Guides Assoc of Australia [PTGAA].

John is passionate to improve the safety and support of all drivers and their passengers, and this motivated him to create the Australian Bus and Coach Driver facebook page. He mentors several people within the bus and coach industry, and invites other experienced drivers to follow his example.

He has written the AUSTRALIAN BUS & COACH DRIVERS' GUIDE [LINK] as a training resource to attain a bus licence and study towards Cert.III qualifications.

His favourite coach type is the Denning Landseer (6V92 with 7spd Spicer). And he still enjoys driving these classics at every available opportunity.

What's the difference between a bus driver and a coach captain? A bus driver sells tickets, and a coach captain has tickets on himself.

You might pass me on the road, but you can follow me on facebook :)
