What is the angriest a parent has ever been with you and what happens?

Asked by Connie bear over 6 years ago

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.

Yes I have seen co workers gotten pulled over. They were speeding. One had kids on the bus. Although both co workers got off with warnings, one was fired the other was given a very stiff warning not to let it happen again.

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 about 7 years ago

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

Why are subs almost always late or early. Almost never on time?

Asked by Gina Dee over 6 years ago

Because a sub doesnt know how the regular driver runs the route and their driving style is different from the regular drivers style

Do people ever raise hell about when the bus stop is in their driveway? Does the district ask notify the home owners and ask them if its okay or do they just put kids out there. I heard a story of a very irate man chasing kids off his driveway.

Asked by I almost 7 years ago

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.
