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.

Her bus her rules.

Can a bus driver kick you off for playing music on your phone speaker?

Asked by Lee almost 6 years ago

Yes, it's a distraction for the driver and if the driver has asked you to turn it off or turn it down then you can be written up or kicked off the bus. Just do as you're told.

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 almost 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.

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 almost 6 years ago

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

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.

Why is there such a shortage of bus drivers?

Asked by Maya about 6 years ago

Because the job is severely underpaid for the hours and dedication we put in as drivers. Lots of places won't hire a person to work part time for the hours that we are available since our schedule is so unique and our pay isn't even close to what would be a livable wage.
