The Bus Driver
15 Years Experience
South, ..
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.
The thingamajigger is likely the digital camera system. The blinking light says its running. There may be a red button on it that the driver can push for automatic student ejection (just kidding) though really if they push that button it marks the tape and allows the driver to return to that moment in order to view what happened on video. Other flashy items on the dash may be the student lights or the left or right indicators.

That depends on your district's requirements. Most school buses have air brakes to my knowledge but there are a good many that don't have them. Check with your local district.

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.

Does your crew ever fake an emergency to slice through traffic?

How do sushi chefs tell when a fish has gone bad? Is it just the smell?
Subway Store Manager
The 6" sub is too small and the 12" is too big. Why no 9-inch sub?
You're welcome! Hope my answer helps you. And thanks for the awesome question!
Share Answer: 
Apologize to the sub and then my kids and I have a lecture route where I tell them what I expect from them when I have to be out. If they give me more trouble, they don't like the consequences.

Thats probably an advertisement? I don't have any personal images on here.
