Asked by Yetti about 7 years ago

No but some of the highschool kids come close

i’ve dropped a couple of things on this bus and when i dropped something on the floor today because i kicked off my seat when i was trying to sleep...is she allowed to legally take away my personal item because i dropped it

Asked by shay almost 7 years ago

We can take items away if they are causing a problem, but generally we aren't allowed to keep the items, they have to be claimed by a parent. That being said, don't argue, apologize, and let the driver keep said item for the time being. When you go to get off the bus, ask the driver for the item back and see what the driver says.

How much trouble do you think a driver would get in for screaming shut the “F” up to a high school student?

Asked by Watson about 7 years ago

Depends on the context and how many other ears were around to hear the cuss word. If i have all highschoolers, I've been known to relax the rules a bit and cut up with them because God knows they've heard worse already.

Do very many buses have air horns? What is the loudest on you have even heard on a bus? Do you think the ones that the locomotives have would help with drivers running stop signs?

Asked by Jack Black (not really, lol) about 7 years ago

Not that I've seen but it would be awesome if we did have air horns. People are gonna run our stop signs regardless.

Can I ask the bus driver not to have my child to sit with another child? The other child is mean to my child. The child push my child up against the window. Should I call the bus company or ask the bus driver?

Asked by Mimi almost 7 years ago

I would speak with the driver first. Be careful accusing other kids of actions. The bus is a very delicate balancing act.
