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.

Does the people who ride your bus know you have this Q&A forum?

Asked by Carson over 6 years ago

Not that i know of.

How cool is it to drive in the dark morning when it’s Christmas time and all the Christmas decorations are lit up and everything is all lit up down the street.

Asked by Yoooodooooodole over 6 years ago

Honestly, it's my favorite time of year because i never know which houses will decorate and go all out. I love it.

I think it may have something to do with the school board though they think they need to get new everything. I think the buses where about 20 years of age. Their down a few buses as well because some did not get replacements.

Asked by Kelly over 6 years ago

School boards don't like to spend money if they don't have to. One of the first things to go out of a budget is transportation funds.

I took a nap on the bus because I have to get up early. I was woke up by a alarm and a very angry sub at a gas station. Not my fault she did not announce the stop. But she was mad at me. She should have said sorry. Can she get fired?

Asked by Dillion over 6 years ago

She cannot get fired for doing her job and checking the bus for sleeping kids. We can get aggravated and upset at kids that sleep but understand that you're human.

What is the worst weather you have ever had to drive a bus through?

Asked by Dav over 6 years ago

Probably pouring down rain where I could not see a few feet in front of me and I had to stop due to a tornado warning.

It also times the bus every minute of the route where it goes and every turn it makes so you could approximately track the bus .

Asked by DJ over 6 years ago

Moat districts have a time schedule for buses listed and yes if there was someone who wanted to harm children this could be a problem. The only major issue i see is where you mentioned the names of kids listed.

Why can I not be finishing breakfast and my mom handing me my lunch when the bus comes?

Asked by Dndnnd over 6 years ago

Because we don't live in a Leave It To Beaver world. Instead we live in a get your butt up on time so you don't miss transportation to school world. Because the real world transportation doesn't care if you miss the bus or train or plane to that meeting with your boss.
