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.

What bus is better a city or school bus?

Asked by Jimmy Johnson makes another left turn (sorry if you like NASSCAR) over 6 years ago

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.

What is more difficult in general city bus or school bus? Also I know this is irrelevant but do you have a southern accent?

Asked by Billy Bob Joe almost 7 years ago

Why do bus drivers get so cranky? Some being flat out nasty. While other drivers are always nice and rarely if ever raise their voice. Then other drivers have almost no interaction with students?

Why do kids like to complain about the music that the radio is on when it is on their station most of them don’t even listen to it. They are too busy with head phones in, being loud, etc

Asked by Jsopdsofj over 6 years ago

Is it okay to run across the street before the lights turn red??? He said cars can still pass but the cars should be smart enough to see that kids may be crossing.

Asked by Dennie over 6 years ago

Would you walk out in traffic when there is a stoplight without the crosswalk sign? Or how about without looking both ways. Stay off the road, wait for the bus and driver to tell you when it's safe to cross and you won't be roadkill.
