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.
Visibility. Visibility. Visibility. It's all about visibility of the bus. A driver is more likely to be aware and alert if the light is flashing rather than solid color.
Yes but video always sets the truth straight.
I needed a job and this offered steady pay and benefits
Luckily haven't had too many bad days though other drivers have had incidents where they witnessed kids being struck by vehicles.

Is it true that the "specials" are usually the stuff that's been sitting around awhile?
Report it to the bus driver to get it checked out. The driver should be doing a walk around and checking the bus for defects.
Short answer, no. Don't cuss. Long answer maybe write an apology to him and step to the bus this afternoon with it. Explain that it isn't your normal way of acting and offer to sit in the front for a few days in lieu of getting kicked off. If he holds firm then say thank you anyways and gracefully walk away and find a ride.
Legally speaking, I am not sure. I suppose if mileage is right and they can get some use out of it, i suppose they could do that. Most systems won't use buses older than 20 years but many of our buses are that old if not older.
