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 bus drivers open the doors at railroads?

Asked by Sherry about 5 years ago

We have to listen for the trains as well as look for them. It's part of our safety procedure. Stop. Look. Listen. We cannot always count on the railroad crossing arms to work properly.

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 about 5 years ago

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

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 about 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.

Tbh if a parent wants to bitch about the time the bus comes they have 2 options. 1 become a driver or 2 drive your own damn kid.

Do you think this is degrading to drivers? These are the types of videos they make us watch and are trying to make us hold up to impossible standards especially during COVID-19. Do you have any advice jj get they are trying to be funny https://youtu.be/vzfPKI4ukE8

Asked by Lacie almost 5 years ago

I think the video is fine. Most people do not understand what we go through as drivers and it's informational. If you're offended by it then change jobs.
