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.

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 about 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.

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 about 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.

What happens if your in traffic where it can be a 1 even few hours delay. I know it’s rare but it can happen and I have heard of it before. What do you do? Is it different in the AM and PM what about field trips or other events?

Asked by Trump KAG 2020 almost 6 years ago

Sit in traffic. There isn't much to do unless a good viable alternative is found. Sometimes we have no choice.

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

Asked by YOU KNOW almost 6 years ago

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

Asked by Infj about 6 years ago

If the driver is safely stopped, no.

Now question have you ever took a route that no one else wanted for some reason? Why? What was it like?

Asked by Pamela over 5 years ago

There are always routes out there that nobody else wants but I am a firm believer that there is a bus driver for every route meaning that there is a bus driver that will be able to reach the kids on each route in that special way. It is sort of like a matching game, you have to figure out which bus driver matches with what route. Some routes are definitely more challenging than others.
