Female, 37

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.

Can my bus driver make me sit behind her? A bunch of kids on my bus are super loud, but she never gets mad at them. She is trying to make me sit in a seat with two elementary girls! I am a 6th grade boy! She nearly took my phone! Allowed or not?!?!?!

Asked by Angry kid over 7 years ago

Short answer, yes. The bus driver is allowed to assign seats as he or she sees fit. Yes, they are allowed to confiscate your items if they are a legitimate distraction.

Do you think bus drivers who yell should be fired? I don’t I figure if they are not saying anything too vulgar, not physically harming anyone, and not flat out bullying someone they should be able to keep their job. What do you think?

Asked by John about 7 years ago

If yelling was a reason to lose a job, I'd have been fired a long time ago.

I guess they say in fog they flash and make it harder for drivers to see. Some also say they are a seizure risk. Do you think this is a bunch of crap or that they work or what do you think? Also, what color do you think is better on them amberorclear

Asked by Dave over 7 years ago

All strobes on buses that I've seen are clear white. It can be a seizure risk but seizure susceptible people shouldn't be driving.

Hey, how are you able to do this? I mean when your off the clock don’t you just not want to focus on work or do you just answer questions before and after your job while your there? For real

Asked by Donn over 7 years ago

Some people don't know the inside scoop on what this job really is about. It takes just a few minutes to answer questions and generally people don't mind hearing answers.

Do you think that two way radios can be a distraction for bus drivers? Why do some drivers think they are just something to chatter on. Like no Donna I don't care what your having for lunch I am in a wreck.
