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.

Hi, thanks I make a point to try and stand on my pour here, in the door, watch out the window, or sit in the car in lightning. It was a problem we had with a former bus driver who tried to take off on many people on those days and did leave some.

If my kids are waiting on the porch or at the door ready to dash out to the bus (not walk slowly) i will wait. However that is generally an exception.

I had a fight where I had to call the cops to take the kids off the bus.

Also, I assume drivers get a lot of days off since they can get subs would I be right or wrong?

Even in this crisis we still have a driver shortage.

Also how do you stop A-holes from cutting in front of me. Every morning and afternoon I get there and everyone crowds me and tries to rush on first when I have gotten there 15 minutes before they did

Asked by Johnny on the sopoy almost 6 years ago

Just stand back and let the a holes duke it out. There are plenty of seats on a bus and people are gonna be immature no matter what you do.

Hey is anything you do legal? Anything a bus driver does, says, thinks, or anything else legal? Just asking lol

Asked by Ding dong over 5 years ago

Let me check with my lawyer.

Is it legal to have bus schedules on a public forum? My district used to and I know it’s convenient but you can see every bus stop, the estimated time of arrival, and how many get on/off/transfer. On SPED routes it says everyone who rides. Full names

Asked by DJ almost 6 years ago

Yes. Many districts do it, however them having children's names listed may be a security issue. I would bring that up to the superintendent.
