Driving for CATA a lucrative job for some

"Driving a public transit bus can be a six-figure gig in Lansing - if you're willing to work overtime.

A driver from the Capital Area Transportation Authority made $140,900 in 2009.
He put in nearly 2,200 hours of overtime, which averages about 42 extra hours a week.

He was one of 25 drivers who earned more than $80,000 last year.
The top hourly pay, before overtime, for bus drivers last year was $22.11, which equates to about $46,000 a year for a full-time driver."

Not including overtime and benefits!
Ralph Kramden would freak out!
