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.

Why do most school buses suck? Why can they not be more like Greyhound buses? There is only like one nice school bus I have ever rode on the rest where either bad or okay. Many with no AC.

Because kids tear stuff apart.

Why do you think your question volume has gone up? You used to get a question maybe once a week sometimes now it is like sometimes multiple times a day.

Asked by Roberta over 6 years ago

Asked by Lol over 6 years ago

Asked by Lynn over 6 years ago

If the parent is being unreasonable, let them know they can continue the issue with your supervisor and shut the door in their face. Bus riding is a privilege not a right.

Do very many buses have air horns? What is the loudest on you have even heard on a bus? Do you think the ones that the locomotives have would help with drivers running stop signs?

Asked by Jack Black (not really, lol) over 6 years ago

Not that I've seen but it would be awesome if we did have air horns. People are gonna run our stop signs regardless.

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.

Is that you in the Halloween shirt?
