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 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.

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 almost 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 strobe lights? Well I guess everyone does not love those clear and amber flashing lights. Some say that aircraft cant use them during inclement weather becuase it makes visibility worse and that is when buses use them.

Asked by Dave almost 6 years ago

We use them for visibility reasons. I have no issue with them.

Can the bus driver be responsible for pressing charges. Lets say there was a assault on the bus. The victim did not wish to press charges and the police where not going to arrest if no one pressed charges. Can the driver press charges?

Asked by James over 5 years ago

If the victim doesnt want charges pressed no. If the victim was also the bus driver then yes.

Hi question. So my child takes the bus in the mornings because he is in a wheel chair and I am unable to. I enrolled him in an after school program till 6pm. I can pick him up after school but will he loose his seat on bus in the morning? Yes or no

Asked by WorriedMOM over 5 years ago

No. Whether you can transport him or not should have no bearing on whether he is eligible for school bus transportation. We have many kids who ride mornings only or afternoons only.

Do you think that two way radios can be a distraction for bus drivers? Why do some drivers think they are just something to chatter on. Like no Donna I don't care what your having for lunch I am in a wreck.
