Why do the flashing 8 way lights always wig wag? or at least for the most part

Asked by dfg about 7 years ago

Mine go wag wig. Though in all actuality its likely to do with the visibility of the bus. Flashing lights alternating catch the eye faster than simple flashing lights.

I got written up for messing with controls when I flipped this lock. I did not realize it would stall the bus out and the bus driver got pissed and wrote me up. The principal have me three days off the bus and a phone call home. How was I to Know?!

So, you didn't learn a basic rule which is do not touch or play with something that isn't yours. Congratulations. You just learned something new. We do try to educate students but when they miss a crucial lesson that is taught in grade school or choose to ignore it and mess with something that isn't theirs, they can expect to have consequences.

Has anyone ever gave you a tip before?

Asked by Brandy over 6 years ago

Yes. It's few and far between but gifts and tips do happen. This one time, I was specially selected to provide transportation for a group of people coming in from out of town and they provided tips which were a welcome bonus.

Are the type D buses harder to drive then other types of buses?

Asked by Ronnie about 7 years ago

Type d buses are flat nose. Ive driven them before and they have benefits such as better turning radius than traditional buses. It takes a bit of getting used to because your drivers seat is 2 to 4 feet in front of the front wheels so you have to get used to swinging around a bit but its fairly easy once you figure it out.
