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.

Have you ever had to delete a rude, dumb, troll, and/or irrelevant question?

Asked by Johnson over 5 years ago

Yep.

What is more difficult in general city bus or school bus? Also I know this is irrelevant but do you have a southern accent?

Asked by Billy Bob Joe over 5 years ago

Both are about the same it just depends on experience. Yes i do have a bit of an accent.

What do you think about eating and drinking on your bus? Are more lax as long as there is not mess? or are you more of no ones eating unless their starving to death or your a diabetic?

Asked by Jimmies about 5 years ago

I prefer they didn't eat on my bus because I don't want them to choke while the bus is moving. I understand that kids will be kids and they will eat, but as long as they're responsible about it and do not leave a mess or create more problems i generally won't say anything.

HAVe you ever had a tire blow out? If you did what happend?

Asked by Sia over 5 years ago

No thank goodness.

So okay there is this bus driver who only lets us sit triple as a last resort. I understand the safety concerns but thats not the weird part. She said its weird for two guys or two girls to have their butts touching.

Asked by Confused about 5 years ago

Some drivers have old fashioned rules but it doesn't mean that they are wrong. Generally though to avoid harassment or problems I will sit boys with boys and girls with girls.

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 over 5 years ago

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

Okay so our bus driver is really mean and finally they got enough complaints that they decided to give us this bus monitor. They told us how the driver should not have to get involved as much. THE MONITER IS MEANER THEN THE DRIVER AND THEY GANG UP!

Asked by The man over 5 years ago

Maybe stop acting out on the bus. Or don't ride if you don't like it. You always have other options including your own two feet and the wheels of a bicycle.
