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.

It happens that we make mistakes and pull put in front of people if there are blind corners as what appears in the video here.

Thanks. I would I be required to stop for say a church bus with red lights and a stop sign?

Better to be safe than sorry. You wouldn't want to chance a child getting hurt.

Do you think City Buses will stop running until this whole Corona Virus thing blows over?

Asked by SCARED about 6 years ago

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.
