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.
Yes. They should complain to the district and the bus barn. The driver is not at fault because of the way the district is forcing the overcrowding issues and refusal to accommodate time schedules at the schools. It also doesn't help when parents yell at the driver too. Take it higher and the driver might actually get some relief on the overcrowding.
Probably 15 to 30 minutes to ensure everyone gets to school on time.
Equivalent is experience. Most bus driving jobs and jobs today in general require a minimum of a highschool diploma. This should be industry standard across the board.
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.

Are professors really subject to the "Publish or Perish" policy?

Do radio stations have to pay royalties to artists to play their songs?

Did you ever deal with people who tried the 'Wesley Snipes' defense?
It depends on the district. Most districts have rules about when and how early to pick up students.
No, thank goodness, though I have been involved in a few fender benders. Minor incidents, minimal damage.
Highschool diploma and cdl certification is standard. Anything else is bonus and more than welcome.
