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.

The bus makes a beeping noise and it engages slowly to slow the bus down.

if I had a bloody nose, and it’s time for me to gain entry into the bus, can my driver refuse me a ride to school? my driver kicked me off the bus with “i can’t allow someone with blood on this bus.” i know i get nosebleeds often, so does the school

Asked by help about 7 years ago

It depends on your district policy. Some won't allow kids that may be injured or hurt on the bus due to liability. Nosebleeds might fall under that category. I would check with your local district.

Is it okay to run across the street before the lights turn red??? He said cars can still pass but the cars should be smart enough to see that kids may be crossing.

Asked by Dennie over 6 years ago

Would you walk out in traffic when there is a stoplight without the crosswalk sign? Or how about without looking both ways. Stay off the road, wait for the bus and driver to tell you when it's safe to cross and you won't be roadkill.
