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.
Luckily haven't had too many bad days though other drivers have had incidents where they witnessed kids being struck by vehicles.
Do you think you should have a drivers license over the age of 66?
Come on, unless there is a serious issue and they can't pass the vision and physicals then it's fine.
Yes but video always sets the truth straight.
I suggest bringing coffee and donuts to the driver. You might get a hug then.

Can you give guests room upgrades at your sole discretion?

Have you ever ordered a pilot to abort mid-takeoff?
You're welcome. No they did not lose their job but they did get a lot of crap from fellow drivers for a few weeks. We're human, we make mistakes. We just pray that no child gets hurt.
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 and yes. Truthfully though, I prefer other student management methods. Just bring headphones and a good music player.
