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.

Honestly I think its better then a driver who sits there and does nothing and lets people act how they want even if it makes someone unsafe or uncomfortable.

Asked by John about 6 years ago

Very true. Having some form of discipline is better than nothing.

I could have swore there was another bus driver on here at one time. Was there or have you always been the only one?

Asked by JJ about 6 years ago

I have no clue. I know I'm one of the only school bus driver threads?? I'm not entirely sure though.

Does a bus driver have the right to not let someone on who is on the roster just for a dress code violation?

Asked by Sam almost 6 years ago

Yes. If you are in violation of dress code they can refuse to transport you. Don't violate dress code.

What is the first letter of your first name?

Asked by Jerry almost 6 years ago

B for bus driver.

Why do bus drivers almost never get in trouble. The principals and supervisors always take the drivers side even if there is video of them screamig and cussing middle to high schoolers out and sometimes after calling 100 times they will move them?

Asked by 667 about 6 years ago

Because generally bus drivers don't do the things you accuse them of. The video is proof of them doing nothing wrong. It also depends on what your definition of cussing is and truthfully if the kids were better behaved then there wouldn't be a problem in the first place.

There is also a video of a bus driver blowing a whistle in a kids ear and yelling at him.

Asked by Jeff almost 6 years ago

Thats unacceptable.

Can my bus driver really write me up for insubordination because I refused to snitch on somebody?!

Asked by Sia about 6 years ago

If you were being obnoxious and rude and disrespectful then possibly. It could be a tactic the driver may use to get the other person to confess to whatever happened. Without knowing the whole situation i can't give an answer.
