Female, 37

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.

Is it illegal for a driver to get up out of his or her seat?

Asked by Infj about 5 years ago

If the driver is safely stopped, no.

Is it possible to volunteer as a reserve bus driver?

Asked by Nsnsnsnd over 4 years ago

Not sure. Can't hurt to ask around.

Hey why are some districts super strict on their drivers and then others let them get away with pretty much anything as long as their not putting their hands on kids or DWI or something crazy?

Asked by I was wrong once over 4 years ago

It depends on the district and the company. Sometimes, districts have to consider how they would look to the general public if their personnel did certain things so they put policies in place to ensure that their people follow them. That's not to say that people don't accidentally mess up now and again.

Yes they luckily took them off and put the bus info into SIS but there is still archives of them. So I think people complained but they are still there. Do you think that should be brought up?

Asked by DJ almost 5 years ago

I would notify them of the archives and link them to the archives then they can fix the problem.

Question what do you think the rest of this school year (and possibly next) look like?

Asked by Lola over 4 years ago

Well, many state governors are calling school done for the remainder of the year. Until the stay at home orders are lifted, we are likely to just stay in place until this whole crisis blows over. Rest assured many children are in the same boat so lack of education is not really a concern as much as getting them food and supplies for their families who depend on the schools 9 months out of the year for breakfast and lunch.

Why are the red and yellow lights almost always red is on the outside and yellow on the inside unless there are only red lights. Is that a law or just how the manufactures do it?

Asked by Thelma almost 5 years ago

That's a good question, I'm not entirely sure why the red is on the outside except that I can guess it's for visibility reasons. Much the same way a stop light has the red at the top, maybe they feel having it on the outside helps drivers?

Is it sketchy if drivers are in the radio saying where the cops are

Asked by Crown super coach almost 5 years ago

Eh, not really. Most anyone who listens to a cb radio feed can figure out where the cops are stationed.
