The Bus Driver
15 Years Experience
South, ..
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.
Most drive thru's have height restrictions that basically prevent buses from going through them.
Share Answer: 
Probably child neglect by leaving children sleeping on buses unattended would be an immediate fireable offense.
Share Answer: 
You're welcome. No they did not lose their job but they did get a lot of crap from fellow drivers for a few weeks. We're human, we make mistakes. We just pray that no child gets hurt.

Supposedly it reduces glare that bounces up from the hood of the vehicle.

Start walking to school or pay for a taxi, then be grateful you have a ride to school on the bus after the 2 weeks is up.
Share Answer: 
Being too cocky on the road is a big one. Not realizing just how big the bus is and how long it takes it to stop. Cutting corners too fast. Hitting mailboxes or trashcans. These are all common rookie mistakes.

Sorry for the delay in reply. My worst experience that I can remember is a cross between kids throwing up and a kid who got beaten up by another kid and I had to call for police assistance.
