The Bus Driver
15 Years Experience
South, ..
Female, 37
I have been a bus driver since late 2006. I know the inside story, the scoop, the down low dirt of what it takes to be a bus driver, how to handle kids and adults, and how to survive on the "streets" so to speak. I used to have a blog, feel free to browse it or ask me a question here.
Very carefully. Most intersections are wide enough for us to make a turn the way we need to, sometimes though, we may have to wait until the light cycles and the intersection clears. More often than not, if it is safe enough and we do not have the turning radius needed, we will jump the curb in order to keep hitting other vehicles.

Denise - I simply did a google search, and that was one of the images I found. So, I simply used it for this profile. Therefore since it is public property, it is not mine to give away, but since it is very common to find in general, I don't think you'll run into copyright laws. Can I get a sweatshirt? ;)

General friendliness. We are a special breed and we will often wave at each other just acknowledging each other. No other reason than we just are friendly.

All the time in my case. Some bus yards require bus drivers to be there a full day, but in my case, we work from 5:30 am to 8 am and then again from 2:30 pm to 5 pm ish. Obviously the times vary for each bus driver depending on their route, location, and number of children.

I would report it to the bus driver himself. He may want to be aware of what these students are saying to at least watch out for other students on the bus. If you are uncomfortable with that, then you could report it to a school administrator who could bring it to the bus driver's attention.

Awesome - You can email me at busdriverquestions@gmail.com :)
Share Answer: 
You can ask the driver if they saw the object in question, if they have, they likely turned it into the bus shop or schools, in which case your parents would need to call up to claim it on your behalf. If its money, its likely gone. Unfortunately other students are not so honest.
