This study tried to know a little better the professional
life of the urban bus
drivers in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Firstly, a brief
historical revision was done
about the bus and the urban bus driver professional. Then,

about human, physical and psychic costs where presented. A
problematization,
as part of Ergonomic Appreciation was performed to
question about the major
problems of bus drivers in their workstations. In this
phase, drivers from a specific
bus enterprise in Rio de Janeiro were studied. The
research hypothesis was that
the repetitive movements leas the bus driver to an
inadequate posture, that can
result in permanent physical constraints, that can
stimulate dissatisfaction in
professional performance. A postural evaluation was
carried out, joined to
questionnaires that tried to evaluate emotional reactions;
thinking disturb;
behavioral changes; positive reactions and sensations and
attention of the bus
drivers during their task, aiming to validate the
hypothesis. The hypothesis was
confirmed, when related to the postural change: major of
the evaluated bus
drivers have the right shoulder depressed if compared to
his left one, and head
inclined to left, forward, and feel pain in these body
parts. On the other hand, the
bus drivers affirm that like their work, and circa of 98%
of the subjects answered
that they enjoy their job. The fact of the bus drivers
likes their job minimize the
psychological erode of the profession, but can t reduce
the physical problems
associated to her.
