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.

Hey what do you think is the weirdest thing a kid has ever brought on your bus?

Asked by Ozark about 5 years ago

Acorns and he called them nuts.

What are some common myths about being a bus driver?

Asked by Don about 5 years ago

That every bus has air conditioning. That it's an easy job to make 50 to 100 kids sit down.

Also, are you participating in the thing where they use school buses to help provide breakfast and lunches?

Asked by 02983457 over 4 years ago

Not at the moment. We are offering drive thru breakfast lunch services 2 days a week here but if this continues we will probably look at other options.

Is it considered threatening if someone called the bus driver a name and the driver said “you think your tough, say it to my face” and then asked if their scared of her?

Lol well did they say it to her face? Don't say it behind someone's back. Seriously, grow up and quit acting like an asshole people.

How did DJ ask that long ass question? I can barely even get my whole question across sometimes because of a character limit. But I think he long surpassed that. Can you set it different for certain people?

Asked by Eric over 5 years ago

Honestly i have no clue!! I'm going to answer his question later today

At least it’s not like those motor coaches. They never follow even the speed limit.

Asked by Ruth about 5 years ago

Motorcoaches are a different kind of bus and they have different standards.

Kids freak out over anything. For real they go crazy over a trash truck, or the sound of the brakes, or even someone walking their dog. What do you do. How can I drive with screaming and going insane over trivial things?

Asked by Robin over 5 years ago

Honestly they're pretty chill. They don't freak out unless you do something dumb like slam on the brakes. They may get a little excited over something that's unusual but you have to realize they are kids. Most of the time if you chill out with them they will respect you.
