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.
Many school districts are already choosing to voluntarily close in an effort to curtail any mass spread of a disease that has a high infection rate. This is known as social distancing. They recognize that putting several children in a confined space (classrooms, buses, and cafeterias) are prime sources for the spread of germs whether intentional or non intentional and given the risk to the immunocompromised being proactive is better than being reactive. My district is shutting down for 3 weeks and they will be disinfecting the schools and buses in an effort to curtail the spread of germs.
It is sad and year after year we have more kids get hit by other drivers who don't pay attention.
Being this has happened a few times while I've been on the bus, generally if we can get the kids to safety, we do so. That usually means a business, other school, or other means of shelter. If we can't we can scope out best and worst case scenarios incase the inevitable does happen. One time we had to evacuate into a middle school and another time we evacuated into a local government office.
I would love to see these standard on all buses. I would also love to see more lights to flash even more to help a driver see the bus in question.

What happens to clothing at dry cleaners that goes unclaimed?
Thats a good idea. My q&a definitely seems to be popular.
That is a possibility if we reach similar crisis levels as seen in wuhan and in Italy. Just stay calm, practice social distancing, become a housecat and demand a sunny spot at the window.
Probably. Just don't do it because you can lose your riding privilege. Don't say i didn't warn you.
