Ask a School Bus Driver anything

1007 Questions

Last Answer on February 07, 2021

Kids freak out over anything. For real they go crazy over a trash truck, or the sound of the brakes, or even someone walking their dog. What do you do. How can I drive with screaming and going insane over trivial things?

Asked by Robin about 6 years ago

Honestly they're pretty chill. They don't freak out unless you do something dumb like slam on the brakes. They may get a little excited over something that's unusual but you have to realize they are kids. Most of the time if you chill out with them they will respect you.

Telling us how many hours we can work. So we took it to transportation supervisor and director. So they got with the school board and spent a lot of money on two new and custom buses to fit their needs. Besides we did not have enough type D buses

Thanks for answering. I want to make it clear I just wanted a opinion and am not trying to convince or argue anything. But I would put the fairness on which trip is longer. Thanks again.

Asked by Interviewer over 5 years ago

That's a good idea actually. Sadly, coaches do not see it this way and neither do the bureaucrats in the school board offices. They do what they want to do.

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 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.
