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.
Not that I've seen but it would be awesome if we did have air horns. People are gonna run our stop signs regardless.
What other weird rules are you talking about?
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.
If the parent is being unreasonable, let them know they can continue the issue with your supervisor and shut the door in their face. Bus riding is a privilege not a right.
Dry Cleaner
Why don't more dry cleaners stay open late?
Meter Maid
Is it tough to have a job that consists exclusively of ruining peoples' days?
Antiques Dealer
What do real antiques dealers think of the Antiques Roadshow reality show?
The thingamajigger is likely the digital camera system. The blinking light says its running. There may be a red button on it that the driver can push for automatic student ejection (just kidding) though really if they push that button it marks the tape and allows the driver to return to that moment in order to view what happened on video. Other flashy items on the dash may be the student lights or the left or right indicators.
No there isn't a difference that I can see though different states may have different requirements.
Idk what you're talking about??
