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

No its not illegal. Rude yes. Illegal no. Also turn that horseshit off.
Share Answer: 
Generally bus stops are decided either by the driver or by the district. If someone has a problem with the location of the stop they just need to contact the district.
Share Answer: 
It's a truthful article. There's a lot to consider in laying off bus drivers and having contracted companies in limbo.

How do you decide whether to try and kill a hostage taker?
Personally unless there was a good reason for a bus to be there early like they were meeting another bus to hold their children or something similar, i probably would institute a rule like that. The longer a bus waits sitting still with children the more possibilities there are for altercations between children. Not only that some states have idling laws.

I've had a parent step up on my bus and shout in my face before. Generally once they say what they want to say it's over. Occasionally they will get so riled up that they will ignore bus driver requests to exit the bus and we have to call the police. The police can then arrest them for trespassing.
