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.

Also, why has your questions gone down again? Do you think someone is spam posting questions or that it was just because it was the begging of the year? Other elxmation?

Asked by Jill almost 7 years ago

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

Did Mike Parson just cancel schools indefinitely?

Asked by Darlene over 6 years ago

Not sure who he is. I know where I am, we are scheduled to return April 13. That can still extend if the spread of the virus is not stopped or slowed.

Entry route. So that’s how it’s set up. Because when we get to the middle school no bus has unloaded yet unless where later getting on. Then the buses are just pulling out when we show up. He said last month that this would not happen anymore.

Asked by Passages about 7 years ago

See my former answer he's probably trying to figure out proper timing.

Do you have a sub list that you can prefer subs on?

Asked by Stan about 7 years ago

Some districts require drivers to find their own subs, others choose for them. In my district its a mix. If you have a midday or an extra route, you are responsible for finding your own sub. But if you have to be off your regular route then you have that covered by them.

What do you think of these lights? https://youtu.be/YEmFb-rbZUU

Asked by Cc almost 7 years ago

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.

Quick question have they closed your district for the remainder of the academic year or are you planning on restarting soon?

Asked by John over 6 years ago

Our district is closed for the remainder of the academic year

Hi, do you think more districts should have programs that track buses and alert parents also alerts that say for delays, early arrivals, and other changes to the bus schedule? Do you think while convenient they raise privacy concerns or not?

Asked by 02983457 over 6 years ago

I would like to see something like this but it could get abused by parents. I think it could be regulated by each district and company. That way the company can relay info to parents without giving up location info to parents for safety of children.
