I have no earthly idea to be honest.

Have you ever had a situation where someone asked you wait on their brother or sister they will be out? Then a few minutes later they don't show and you wonder. Is this person in the shower? Or even gotten up from bed? Also what takes so long?

Do kids ever draw things for you, give you coloring sheets, things they did at school, stickers, candy, things like that and what do you do with them. I remember my driver kids would give her stickers and she stuck them all over the bus.

Yes they give me stuff. I wish I thought to keep magnets and tape so they could put their stuff up on the bus walls/ceiling. Hmm thats a good idea for next year!

Why are school buses starting to make more luxury items standers. I know you could always custom order these things but more buses have radios, heat, AC, strobe lights, non-manual doors in fact many companies except blue bird and some small bus manufacturers

Asked by Darren over 5 years ago

Many items are for the safety and security of the children we transport. Some are comfort based but in many cases they are necessary.

In states that require school buses to have seatbelts as well as districts that have policy how do they keep them buckled in? Not to play with them? I mean you can’t even get them to sit down and shut up most the time?
