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.

Would you ever drive for a company like Greyhound or Megabus?

Asked by Jay Dillion almost 7 years ago

If the pay was decent, yes.

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

Asked by Skskssksksk over 6 years ago

Sometimes but its not my bus per say it belongs to the county so they can do what they want

So next time someone puts their hair over the seat and it blows back at me can I take scissors and cut her (or even his) hair off? Maybe take a lighter and catch it on fire then take the fire extinguisher and put it out?

Asked by Dan about 6 years ago

Not unless you want to be removed from the bus by the police in handcuffs.

Okay why in the movies can someone wait in their house for the bus and the bus driver will honk to tell the kids it’s time to get on the bus. Then in real life you have to stand outside no matter if it is raining or cold, etc and the bus does not even usually pick you up at your house. Why? Why do movies do this and why is it like this in real life? I hate movies they never get anything right. Their like a parallel universe.

Asked by Dndnnd over 6 years ago

Every district runs their buses differently as do drivers run their routes differently. Lots of things that happen in movies are unrealistic to the "real" world as you put it but movie directors aren't thinking about reality, only the fantasy they are creating for the viewer to see. In a fantasy world, all students would sit down, behave, and not bully each other but we both know that's a fantasy too!

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

Is it illegal for a bus driver to BLAST country music because she did not like the rap. I get that someone should not turn up their music when she says “TURN THAT HORSESHIT MUSIC OFF” (she was cussing) but then everyone has to suffer.

Asked by Tina almost 7 years ago

No its not illegal. Rude yes. Illegal no. Also turn that horseshit off.
