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.

Is Billy Maddison on your sub list?

Asked by Job almost 7 years ago

Lol no.

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 almost 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.

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 about 7 years ago

Because kids tear stuff apart.

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 almost 7 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.

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 over 6 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.

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.

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
