Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to comprehensively assess the psychosocial working conditions of city and long-distance bus drivers. Data were collected among 500 bus drivers from 52 different companies. The variables was measured with the Copenhagen Psychosocial Working Conditions Questionnaire – COPSOQ II. The analysis was carried out using the t-test, which compared the mean results of urban and long-distance drivers. The study showed that city and long-distance bus drivers do not constitute a homogeneous professional group in terms of psychosocial risks in the work environment. City bus drivers have a higher level of emotional demands and work pace, and they also differ from long-distance bus drivers in terms of work organization conditions, stress and well-being.
