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 have no clue. I know I'm one of the only school bus driver threads?? I'm not entirely sure though.
I don't have experience driving larger city buses though i have driven the smaller handicap buses before. With any job there are ups and downs.
Again situational. Depending on the situation at hand the rule states no phone use primarily. That being said if he wasn't a normal driver he might not have thought about it. Truthfully, I've taken phone calls but usually make them brief as unless its an emergency it can wait.
Her bus her rules.

Do the kids treat you with the same amount of respect as other authority figures at school?
A lot of learning. I had to think outside the box and then learn on a steep learning curve to manage students.
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.
