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.

Also does it annoy you when someone calls it a year when it is not a year. It is a term.

Asked by You over 6 years ago

Nah I call it a year or a term it's both.

Why do most school buses suck? Why can they not be more like Greyhound buses? There is only like one nice school bus I have ever rode on the rest where either bad or okay. Many with no AC.

Asked by Jamie over 6 years ago

Because kids tear stuff apart.

Is there a difference between a bus aide, monitor, attendant, assistant, and driver helper? Is it just different people call it different things like pop and soda?

Asked by Silly willy over 6 years ago

No there isn't a difference that I can see though different states may have different requirements.

So that being said a guy would have to be seated next to a girl and vice versa. She has other weird rules. Asking for someone else.

Asked by Confused over 6 years ago

What other weird rules are you talking about?

Okay so our bus driver is really mean and finally they got enough complaints that they decided to give us this bus monitor. They told us how the driver should not have to get involved as much. THE MONITER IS MEANER THEN THE DRIVER AND THEY GANG UP!

Asked by The man over 6 years ago

Maybe stop acting out on the bus. Or don't ride if you don't like it. You always have other options including your own two feet and the wheels of a bicycle.

Is that you in the Halloween shirt?

Idk what you're talking about??

If there is a scum bag teen on your route do you go out of your way to make his rides miserable? Either continuously wright him/her up or they just stop riding because they don’t want to have to deal with you? Would you embarrass them?

Asked by Sarah over 6 years ago

No. No. No. I generally try to get through to all my bus riders and make them feel welcome on my bus regardless of past behavior or issues.
