The Bus Driver
15 Years Experience
South, ..
Female, 37
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.
Report the driver to the district. Also don't stand on the bus.

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.

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

Good question! There is usually one box for first aid. That has your typical bandaids and other first aidey type items. Then there is the body fluid clean up kit which we break out in the event a child vomits on the bus or blood is shed. That has gloves and specific instructions on how to dispose of body fluids.
Finally the long thin red box usually bolted to the floor is reflective triangles that we can unfold and pop up when the bus is broken down and we need to give motorists warning of what's on the road.

Do people ever ask you to keep your meter off in exchange for a cheaper fare?
Depends on how the working environment is. Failure to treat your employees properly will result in them quitting.

Probably because the beginning of the year has dropped off. I'll generally get another surge of questions in January.

Merry Christmas. Many small parochial schools utilize a busing system similar to public schools, but I think you are referring to the buses that have been converted to other use by churches after they are done being buses. While not illegal that I know of, the laws may vary from state to state.
