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.

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?

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

Why do you not like unions very much?

Asked by Rosemary over 6 years ago

Unions have their benefits and disadvantages. It depends on the state you live in as to how well a union would work for you.

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

Asked by Ruth over 6 years ago

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