When did it become a common practice for school buses to start picking up kids at their houses instead of at bus stops? We never had the luxury when I was younger, why the change?

Asked by ANGRY over 4 years ago

When child predators started abducting kids more frequently. Its a dangerous world out there.

Hi I see you have been asked a lot of questions recently but I just have to ask mine sorry. So with these protests going on what do you do if protesters are throwing things on the bus, ripping things off, climbing on it, or even trying to board?

Asked by Jamie over 4 years ago

1. Not even attempt to put myself in harms way.

2. If i happen across a group of angry violent protesters, do not stop, keep going. They either move or get squished.

3. I have no issue with peaceful protests but those are the ones that aren't blocking roads and causing violence and mayhem.

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 4 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.

Why do bus drivers open the doors at railroads?

Asked by Sherry over 4 years ago

We have to listen for the trains as well as look for them. It's part of our safety procedure. Stop. Look. Listen. We cannot always count on the railroad crossing arms to work properly.

Have you been been in a position where when severe weather you had to evacuate into a private house? Better then a ditch but what about safety precautions would be taken? What are all the proceeders you do?

Asked by Lorah over 4 years ago

Not into a private house but into a public building due to a tornado yes. I notified my supervisor where we were and that the kids were safe.
