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 sad that you will not see some kids again because of the early break VERY EARLY break.

Asked by ************ about 5 years ago

Yes actually. I miss every one of my bus kids. Even the ones who make me want to pull my hair out in frustration because they're the ones that need me the most. I've tried to keep in contact with parents as best I can but there is only so much I am allowed to do.

Why do some buses have a door on the passages side and a door behind the driver.

Asked by Kay over 5 years ago

In larger cities like New York they have buses that have passenger doors on both sides which allow for loading on both sides without the need for crossovers. Supposedly this eliminates a danger facing students crossing in front of the bus, but i think it just causes more issues. Some buses are equipped with an emergency door on the side of the bus instead of in the rear if their engines are rear engines.

Do buses ever have outside temperature on the dash or where ever else like many cars do?

Asked by Gentlemen about 5 years ago

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

Asked by Infj over 5 years ago

If the driver is safely stopped, no.

Do you think City Buses will stop running until this whole Corona Virus thing blows over?

Asked by SCARED about 5 years ago

That is a possibility if we reach similar crisis levels as seen in wuhan and in Italy. Just stay calm, practice social distancing, become a housecat and demand a sunny spot at the window.
