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.

Is that you driving the bus? And why are you letting the kids smile your not supposed to have fun, eat, drink, be on your phone, or do homework just sit there and shut up for a hour right

Im not a teacher but tbh its hard to say what one should do. We are charged with keeping kids safe so if we get sick and kids get sick its a catch 22.

What do you look like?

Asked by Andy over 5 years ago

A human.

What do you think of FFRF nut jobs who say public school bus drivers and even city transit can’t play sermons or religious music because of separation of church or state. Also, reports of school teachers and staff taking Bibles for this reason or andNot letting kids

Asked by Mike over 5 years ago

Well given its a public school we have to be sensitive about the potential difficulty for kids having different religions. We also live in a snowflake society.

I also heard drivers have a five minute max time they can wait. Is that so and that seems like a long time. Why not just come back and circle or just leave their butt

Asked by Jon almost 6 years ago

It depends on the district policy. I usually leave kids if they're late.

Why do drivers always pull their buses into Kum &Go?

Asked by Turtle fan dan almost 6 years ago
