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.
Depends on how the working environment is. Failure to treat your employees properly will result in them quitting.
Being this has happened a few times while I've been on the bus, generally if we can get the kids to safety, we do so. That usually means a business, other school, or other means of shelter. If we can't we can scope out best and worst case scenarios incase the inevitable does happen. One time we had to evacuate into a middle school and another time we evacuated into a local government office.
Probably. Just don't do it because you can lose your riding privilege. Don't say i didn't warn you.
Better to be safe than sorry. You wouldn't want to chance a child getting hurt.
Firefighter
What's the worst you've been burned in a fire?
Couples Therapist
Does a therapist aim to "fix" the client, or just treat the client indefinitely?
Federal Lobbyist
What was the strangest lobbying request you've ever received?
Again every driver has different standards.
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.
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.
