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.

Hey, how are you able to do this? I mean when your off the clock don’t you just not want to focus on work or do you just answer questions before and after your job while your there? For real

Asked by Donn almost 7 years ago

Some people don't know the inside scoop on what this job really is about. It takes just a few minutes to answer questions and generally people don't mind hearing answers.

Honestly I think its better then a driver who sits there and does nothing and lets people act how they want even if it makes someone unsafe or uncomfortable.

Asked by John almost 7 years ago

Very true. Having some form of discipline is better than nothing.

How bad is the bus driver shortage really? What are some reasons that may have cased it?

Asked by Ron almost 7 years ago

Come apply and find out for yourself how bad the shortage is. It's bad enough that I am not allowed to be sick even if i get hospitalized by a doctor.

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.

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.
