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.

I had a driver when we were telling our driver about some of our past drivers over the years and everything right now we don’t have a driver irs all subs and

There was this lady who identified herself as someone who worked high up in the transportation department.



She said that the reason we never get good drivers is because we’re the type of kids nobody wants, therefore you get the drivers nobody wants.


She said she wished she could fire some of the drivers, but that she has a shortage of drivers and that well frankly some routes (such as ours) deserves to have those types of drivers.



I have had drivers put their hands on kids, cuss us out, get lost out on the middle of nowhere, that were absolutely bat shit crazy, some who are just down right creepy, and some who were really pretty cool.



Our route has probably had about every driver in the district at some point. But I found her comment about deserving tjem a bit rude and really have never heard someone say something like that before

I really think the ones are entertaining that go on and on and on and they tell you literally everything going on somehow going way beyond the character limit. I just noticed your more snarky then normal lol.

Is there detectives who work inside prisons? Like on the streets there are street cops in prison there are guards. But there are crimes, violations, gangs, etc in prisons to be investigated so how does this work? Thanks

So when becoming a bus driver is it best to say that you want to do this either long term or even retirement or should I tell the truth and say I just want to do this for a little bit

On one hand they have people come and go a lot and they want someone who will stick with them a while and not just drive for a year or two and be done. On the other hand is just that they don’t expect people to drive forever and don’t care as much
