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.

Asked by Zz over 6 years ago

Idk what you're 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 it true that districts place their bus drivers say the stricter meaner ones on more misbehaved routes and the ones that are more Lenient and nicer are put on better behaved routes

Asked by Brat kid over 6 years ago

There is a driver for every route. Some drivers just work better with some kids than others. I'm sure to some kids I seem mean but to others, I'm their favorite.

Hi so evidently our driver is switching routes after semester. I can’t really blame him but the bus driver we are supposedly getting I have heard bad things about and I think I had her as a sub before. I hear she is really mean and my route is pretty

Asked by Ryan about 6 years ago

Give her a chance to show ya'll how she operates. Also don't be jerks to her just because of what you hear. A bit of peer pressure goes a long way when it comes to handling behavior.

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 about 6 years ago

What other weird rules are you talking about?

One more sorry for blowing your email up. Or kindly tell them it is BS and their own personal problem. What do I do if something is or has been done but the parent insists it hasn't or is not good enough.

Asked by Lynn over 6 years ago

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.

Also when you drive your route of cats do they climb and on you and don’t sit down and meow too much? What do you do to manage the cats behavior on the bus on your kitty cat route
