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 I ask the bus driver not to have my child to sit with another child? The other child is mean to my child. The child push my child up against the window. Should I call the bus company or ask the bus driver?

Asked by Mimi about 7 years ago

I would speak with the driver first. Be careful accusing other kids of actions. The bus is a very delicate balancing act.

Why do kids like to complain about the music that the radio is on when it is on their station most of them don’t even listen to it. They are too busy with head phones in, being loud, etc

Asked by Jsopdsofj about 7 years ago

Because sometimes they can hear that music over their headphones. I try to keep the music at a reasonable level so we all get along.

Then rant about it for 10 minutes. Also embarrassing someone because she thought that person was noes picking! Why not just pull them aside when they get off?!

Lol no.

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 7 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.
