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.

Why do some high schoolers who can drive their own selves to school ride the bus just to cause trouble and get mad when there are rules? Like your own car you can make whatever rule you want but you ride the bus sorry you can't eat, drink, cuss, etc

Asked by Entitled Warrior about 5 years ago

Sometimes kids have parents who take that stuff away and force them to ride the bus. Other times, it's not as common to find a kid who just rides to cause trouble. Usually if they're causing trouble, they did something to deserve being on the bus in the first place.

You know what is crazy I noticed a few drivers got fired from his driving. Why do you think they where fired? Don’t they need drives why would the do something stupid like fire bus drivers?

Asked by Jannie about 5 years ago

It depends on the situation. If the driver made a comment on social media that doesn't line up with the school system's beliefs then the system has the ability to and right to separate from the individual.

why do bus drivers drive so fast?

Asked by Ronnie about 5 years ago

Its a misconception that drivers are driving fast because of the size of the bus. If a bus driver is exceeding the speed limit though please do report them.

What is the double standard of bus drivers (other adults) to kids, ageist? They can eat, drink, chew gum, cuss, yell, dance in the seat, listen to whatever music, etc while kids can’t do any of that because the bus driver (or other adult) is a adult
