Sue Bishop has spent more than three decades driving buses and getting people where they need to be and she wouldn’t change a thing.

The Transdev bus driver was recently featured on SBS Insight episode: “How old is too old?” showcasing how older people stay active and contribute to society. 

Sue was filmed on her normal bus runs and appeared in the studio audience alongside veteran broadcasters Derryn Hinch and Mike Carlton.

Sue, 75, still drives full-time on Brisbane’s bayside proving age is no barrier.

“The passengers mean a lot to me. They become part of your life. They like to share things,” Sue said.

“My age hasn’t slowed me down at all.

“As soon you get behind that wheel everything changes, as soon as people get on it changes… you’re thinking of other people besides yourself.”

Transdev Queensland Managing Director Mark Thatcher said Sue was a valued team member and inspiring role model.

“Sue is a dedicated, caring driver and so friendly and welcoming to all our customers,” Mr Thatcher said.

“We can’t ask for more than that. Sue is vibrant, positive and has great energy – it’s a credit to her and is infectious.

“If you’re healthy and active, age really is just a number.”
