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.

Getting ready for in less then a month now. What are some tips for riding the bus? I about lost my mind last year, lol.

Remember that kids are people with emotions and worries like adults. Sometimes their shoulders are holding the world and they can't help it.

What are some common myths about being a bus driver?

Asked by Don almost 7 years ago

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

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.

Thank you for answering! Okay I have one more question about the weight stations. Is there any reason a bus would be required to go through them? I mean any that you know of at all even if t is exceptionally rare?

Depends on the state you live in.

Do you get irritated when subs don’t put the bus the way the found it? Ie radio, climate control, moving things, etc

What’s your Iq

Asked by Big Jim over 6 years ago

Probably more than yours is.

Thanks. Now if you where in a supervisory position would you allow buses to wait more then ten minutes? I think some places put a policy that buses are not able to wait over ten minutes. Why or why not?

Asked by Rodney over 6 years ago

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.
