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.

Do bus drivers really ever make a kid come to the bus barn and help them clean the bus or repair damage? I have had a few threaten it before just curious.

Asked by RAAARW about 6 years ago

what is the weirdest item a student brought on your bus?

Asked by ash over 6 years ago

Truthfully, I haven't had any weird or odd items brought on my bus. Though once I had a pre k kid bring a bag of acorns on the bus and tell me to look at his nuts. I told him to put his nuts away and that they were very nice nuts. Another kid asked if they could hold his nuts and I had to say no you cannot hold his nuts.

What do you think of these lights? https://youtu.be/YEmFb-rbZUU

Asked by Cc over 6 years ago

I would love to see these standard on all buses. I would also love to see more lights to flash even more to help a driver see the bus in question.
