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.

Asked by Denim about 7 years ago

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

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.

What are bus driver stereotypes that are/ aren’t true

Asked by Sally almost 7 years ago

Identify the stereotypes and I'll confirm or deny.

Why are some strokes mounted in the back while others are up front while others are midship? Why are some buses equipped but some not? Why are they usually white/clear instead of amber like other vehicles? Why do some flash once, some twice, others 4

Asked by Zack almost 7 years ago

Strobes are there for visibility. Sometimes its just the preference of the manufacturer as to where to put it and how its installed. The newer strobes flash brighter and more often for higher visibility.

What the crap are school buses doing out on Cristmas?

Asked by Brother over 6 years ago

There may be charter trips and those use buses that may be school buses as well?

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 almost 7 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.
