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.

Hey do you think I will get written up if I get in the tool box?

Asked by Dawg coollllllll kid about 5 years ago

Probably. Just don't do it because you can lose your riding privilege. Don't say i didn't warn you.

Is it true that if you fire one driver in a lot of places a lot of drivers will get mad and quit?

Why do some routes not start until past seven and others at 5:30? Am but in the PM they start about the same time

Asked by Jim about 5 years ago

Depending on where you live and how the bus system is set up will depend on how the routes start and end in both morning and evening. Some districts have the schools separated on each bus by school/grade level. For example there may be high school routes, middle school routes, and elementary routes that all start and end at different times based on when those schools start and end their day. Alternatively you may live in a county that puts all grade levels on each bus. There are positives and negatives to this. A positive is that if you are a family that has older siblings, the older ones are riding with the younger ones and you don't have to worry as much about childcare when your high schooler gets off with your second grader. Due to the distance from the schools will depend on when each route needs to start. You can guarantee that the one that starts early will end late in the afternoon due to the distance they have to cover with children.
