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.

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

Asked by June Bug almost 6 years ago

Generally i try to make things fair. I do not do anything that i wouldn't allow my bus kids to do.

I have noticed when I read the board minutes I’m shocked at how many people in transportation, substitutes, paras, and nutrition services they let go! Why do they let so many go what is the biggest reasons? Thanks!!!

Depends on if your district went virtual. Virtual learning means layoffs for some jobs.

In states that require school buses to have seatbelts as well as districts that have policy how do they keep them buckled in? Not to play with them? I mean you can’t even get them to sit down and shut up most the time?

I have no earthly idea to be honest.

why do bus drivers drive so fast?

Asked by Ronnie almost 6 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.

Also, what is the best thing to call the people who ride your bus? Kids, students, passages or something else? What do you usually call them?

Asked by Dayton almost 6 years ago

Passengers, riders, students.

If you where not a Bus Driver what would be another job you could see yourself doing?
