  Just to ask, what is your interest, and what can you do? If you like the technical aspect, be the depot technician. If you like the organisation structure, route manager group or that line. Just to ask a second question: Are you willing to drive buses until 0100 hrs or start work at 0500 hrs?

  Seriously if you like the mindless driving, I rather you be a taxi-driver. You'll know why.

  Depends on the depot you're posted to. If you're in AMDEP, most likely you'll end up on a Merc.
