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.
Retrofitting a bus costs about as much money as purchasing a brand new one off the line. Sometimes its cheaper to get new and as the buses age its like cars, the parts become obsolete and unavailable over time.
Hahaha i saw that yesterday
Depends on how the working environment is. Failure to treat your employees properly will result in them quitting.
No, but i have had to run another route after mine is done, or squeeze more kids on my bus in the afternoons to get them home. There is a driver shortage everywhere and no relief in sight.

Can you describe the average Internet troll?
Truthfully if you were standing out in the storm that makes you a dumbass. Waiting for a bus or not is beside the point, if you don't feel safe to do so always ask your parents to either take you or sit with you in their vehicles at the stop.
I would think that means that they have an emergency situation that needs attention immediately instead of waiting forever for someone who might or might not respond.
That would depend on your district and the bus driver. You could ask but chances are good the driver will say no.
