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.
Again every driver has different standards.
Again that varies district by district. Some districts have a sub list, others have an automated system and still others will have the traditional call in and have your supervisor find somebody to run your route.
Probably because the beginning of the year has dropped off. I'll generally get another surge of questions in January.
It happens that we make mistakes and pull put in front of people if there are blind corners as what appears in the video here.

Why do hotel room toilets clog so easily?
Better to be safe than sorry. You wouldn't want to chance a child getting hurt.
Depends on how the working environment is. Failure to treat your employees properly will result in them quitting.
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.
