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.

Can a bus driver kick you off for playing music on your phone speaker?

Asked by Lee almost 7 years ago

Yes, it's a distraction for the driver and if the driver has asked you to turn it off or turn it down then you can be written up or kicked off the bus. Just do as you're told.

Is there vacuum operated stop signs anymore?

Asked by Jj almost 7 years ago

Have you seen the video of the bus driver being beat in while she was dropping off kids? What are your thoughts on that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R15spaRS6wg

Asked by Jeff almost 7 years ago

Yes. She should have stayed in her seat, called for help, shut the door and drove off.

I know right that is what I was thinking. I guess he wanted to teach them a lesson or something. They just ended up letting them both back on the bus.

Smh. Sometimes you can't teach people and people are idiots.

Can my bus driver really write me up for insubordination because I refused to snitch on somebody?!

Asked by Sia almost 7 years ago

If you were being obnoxious and rude and disrespectful then possibly. It could be a tactic the driver may use to get the other person to confess to whatever happened. Without knowing the whole situation i can't give an answer.

Hey I have sort of a strange question but I am serious. I want to become a bus driver do you think I could work out a plan to be in collage and drive then work a decent day job while being a bus driver? Mabey just a AM or PM or part time or jus

Asked by Daniel almost 7 years ago

Yes. We need drivers.

So a judge could not do anything even if he or she wanted to. Honestly that was all I wanted to know is if it was legal or not. Again I am not going to do it and I don’t want the bus driver arrested or sued. Sorry and thank you.
