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.

Have you ever had a fight on your bus and what happened?

Asked by Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek about 6 years ago

Yes. If the kids fighting draws blood in any way shape or form, i immediately call the police. If i am close enough to a school i have the administrators called out. If not i tell parents and write up kids.

What do you think?

Asked by Video almost 6 years ago

There is a shortage everywhere. It's unfortunate the company did not have coverage to transport the child to and from school however if the hiring is falling with the school board then the school board needs action

Did Mike Parson just cancel schools indefinitely?

Asked by Darlene almost 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.

Should this bus driver be fired?

Asked by Your friend about 6 years ago

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.

Have you ever rode a greyhound bus?!

Asked by Defendent almost 6 years ago

Rode, yes. Driven, no.

Okay so I want to ask this without sounding mean. Why do you think some drivers like to pull in five, ten, even fifteen minutes before the doors open? Is it maybe for hours so they can say they get paid more? Or do you think they just want to be there early so if something happens they wont have to worry about being late? Just curious.

Asked by Asker dmsjsjdndn over 6 years ago

Some like to be first in line. I'll never understand why they decide to pull in and wait. It makes no sense to me. That's why i plan my route to be done right on time.

Do you think it’s appropriate to listen to Alex Jones on the bus with kids? Kids are highly receptive. Same with NPR

Asked by Jeff about 6 years ago

Not necessarily. It's probably boring to kids and personally i prefer to play something that is kid friendly.
