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 over 5 years ago

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

Do you get to pick stops times? Do you draft your route and have it approved? Or is it picked by the company/district and it is what it is? What about if you wanted it changed.

Asked by San over 5 years ago

That depends on the district. Some districts choose for drivers other districts let drivers choose the stops and times. If you want something changed, talk politely to your driver about the policy on how to go about doing that.

Has anyone ever gave you a tip before?

Asked by Brandy over 5 years ago

Yes. It's few and far between but gifts and tips do happen. This one time, I was specially selected to provide transportation for a group of people coming in from out of town and they provided tips which were a welcome bonus.

I am a veratrin driver for around 50 years now. My new district has threatened to fire me if I do not get my act together. Never had those problems in other districts or company's. The director is understanding but people in school board are assholes
