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.

Is a write up and a citation the same thing?

Asked by Danie over 6 years ago

Yes. It is.

Do you think someone who is pro abortion should be trusted around kids?

Asked by Ddoooo over 6 years ago

That's a personal choice. Long as they aren't homicidal or anything like that towards the kids personal beliefs shouldn't enter into whether or not a person is effective in doing their job.

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.

Can I ask the bus driver not to have my child sit with the bully?

Asked by Jen almost 7 years ago

You can ask, but its not a guarantee if the child in question is not being a bully to begin with. I would start with asking if your child can be moved to a place thats within closer earshot of the driver so that they can keep a better eye on your child.

What do I do if the bus is always later then the posted stop time by five, ten, sometimes fifteen minutes but substitutes come pretty close to the stop time. Would calling the transportation director and asking to have the stop time raised be okay?

Asked by Sydney almost 7 years ago

Actually thats a good solution. If your regular driver runs late but the sub runs on time then the transportation needs to be aware so that they can make changes to the route so kids don't miss the bus by mistake.

If you could not be a bus driver what would you do?

Asked by Dog lover almost 7 years ago

Find another job.

Is there really anything good about the back of the bus? I mean Rosa Parks did not like it so if she did not like it then it must not be such a magical place after all was it

Asked by Johnny on the sopt over 6 years ago

Not really though kids think they can get away with stuff back there. They really can't.
