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.

Why is it every time something happens every bus driver and every other Tom, Dick, and Harry with a radio think they need to get in on the action even though they have nothing to do with the situation and have nothing of value to add. if they can help fine but is it noseyness and just wanting to not be left out?

Asked by Ray almost 6 years ago

Because people are just plain nosy.

Someone was standing on my bus and the bus driver brake checked him and he went flying on the floor

Asked by Blake almost 6 years ago

Report the driver to the district. Also don't stand on the bus.

Hey do you think I will get written up if I get in the tool box?

Asked by Dawg coollllllll kid almost 6 years ago

Probably. Just don't do it because you can lose your riding privilege. Don't say i didn't warn you.

Is it true that if you fire one driver in a lot of places a lot of drivers will get mad and quit?

Asked by Snsjjsj almost 6 years ago

Depends on how the working environment is. Failure to treat your employees properly will result in them quitting.

Do you think it’s a good idea to charge students for riding the bus? Kids on free or reduced lunches can be discounted or ride for free. But I think it could save on taxes and as long as it’s not too much but what do you think?

Asked by Trump is amazing over 5 years ago

No. Riding is a privilege not a right. The moment we bring money into it we remove the authority to kick a child off the bus for acting out simply because his parents pay for the service exclusively.

Would you be mad if some other bus driver got approved on here and people where asking him/her questions instead of you?

Asked by You don’t know why they did that almost 6 years ago

Nope, the more the merrier. I only have my opinion so another driver may add their own opinion to questions.

Was it wrong for me to have a crush on one of my bus drivers? My old PM driver was so hot.

Asked by Some guy somehwere over 5 years ago

It's not wrong, but you have to understand that there has to be a professional boundary. Children having crushes on their teachers and other adults in charge of them is fairly common however it can be a very slippery slope and get both the teacher/adult into major trouble and the child into consequences they did not intend.
