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.
Most bus companies have a radio system that allows buses to communicate with each other. Though generally the frequency is not available to the public and we cannot communicate with other buses outside the district. Occasionally our frequencies will interfere and interact with the 911 tone out for emergency response and we hear the dispatch. Or can hear the police channel of another city.
Again it depends on district and district policy on how they run routes.
Again every driver has different standards.
Not necessarily. It's probably boring to kids and personally i prefer to play something that is kid friendly.

How come it often takes years to figure out that a kid is dyslexic?

Do you think the nets should be lower for girls?
That would depend on your district and the bus driver. You could ask but chances are good the driver will say no.
I have no real preference as long as it starts, runs, works for what i need it to do and gets kids to and from school. The extra items like AC or anything else is bonus.
I'm not entirely sure what the gold line flag stands for.
