Abstract As professional drivers typically were driving more time on the road than general drivers, the relationship between age and multi-dimensional driving abilities of bus drivers should be of concern to transportation officials tasked with improving workplace safety. This study examined the multi-dimensional abilities of bus drivers through their responses to a self-assessment questionnaire and on tests of hand-eye coordination, balance ability and hand grip strength. Among sixteen participants recruited from an urban bus company, gender and age significantly correlated with self-rating evaluation, hand-eye coordination tests and grip strength capabilities. Recommended of this study were conducted the self-rating evaluation, hand-eye coordination, balance ability and hand grip strength in the process of licensing exams test to assess driving qualification, renew driving license particularly. Bus drivers should also regularly take these ability tests to assess their driving quality and ability. In this way, an employer can accurately assess drivers’ multi-dimensional abilities and verify whether they meet the demands of their jobs.
