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.

I could have swore there was another bus driver on here at one time. Was there or have you always been the only one?

Asked by JJ over 6 years ago

I have no clue. I know I'm one of the only school bus driver threads?? I'm not entirely sure though.

There is also a video of a bus driver blowing a whistle in a kids ear and yelling at him.

Thats unacceptable.

Hey quick question how fast can a bus go. Lets say there is no laws, regulations, or governors and pressed the petal to the metal. How fast do you think it will go?

Asked by Buddy The Elf over 6 years ago

Probably 80 to 90

Then think if The regular driver had a problem with it then why would rude lady take it away instead of just asking to silence it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Her bus her rules.

Why is there such a shortage of bus drivers?

Asked by Maya over 6 years ago

Because the job is severely underpaid for the hours and dedication we put in as drivers. Lots of places won't hire a person to work part time for the hours that we are available since our schedule is so unique and our pay isn't even close to what would be a livable wage.

Okay so I heard somewhere that a bus driver can not break up a fight. My bus driver a few years ago did and nothing happened to her. She still drove so she did not get fired, suspended, or put in jail

Asked by Karen over 6 years ago

It depends on the district policies and is generally left up to the personal call of the driver in charge. For example, if I have two middle school or high school kids fighting, I will call the cops. But if the kids are elementary, scrawny and tiny, I'll intervene before they beat the snot out of each other.

what do you think of this. Okay long story short the driver called for the police becuase of back talking. Supervisor shows up instead. Bus driver refuses to let him on while there is now someone bradding him. 20 min late because SROs had to come.

Asked by This was years ago but.. over 6 years ago

Uh. What? If his supervisor showed up then he should have let the supervisor on the bus.
