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.

Do you think Chris Farley is delivering lunches to kids? Uh oh...

Asked by YOU KNOW almost 6 years ago

Uh no.

Is it legal to have bus schedules on a public forum? My district used to and I know it’s convenient but you can see every bus stop, the estimated time of arrival, and how many get on/off/transfer. On SPED routes it says everyone who rides. Full names

Asked by DJ about 6 years ago

Yes. Many districts do it, however them having children's names listed may be a security issue. I would bring that up to the superintendent.

Now question have you ever took a route that no one else wanted for some reason? Why? What was it like?

Asked by Pamela over 5 years ago

There are always routes out there that nobody else wants but I am a firm believer that there is a bus driver for every route meaning that there is a bus driver that will be able to reach the kids on each route in that special way. It is sort of like a matching game, you have to figure out which bus driver matches with what route. Some routes are definitely more challenging than others.

Also how do you stop A-holes from cutting in front of me. Every morning and afternoon I get there and everyone crowds me and tries to rush on first when I have gotten there 15 minutes before they did

Asked by Johnny on the sopoy about 6 years ago

Just stand back and let the a holes duke it out. There are plenty of seats on a bus and people are gonna be immature no matter what you do.

Does school start back up tomorrow or the next day?

Asked by Uh ob about 6 years ago

We went back January 6.

Is it illegal for a driver to get up out of his or her seat?

Asked by Infj about 6 years ago

If the driver is safely stopped, no.

Hey why are some districts super strict on their drivers and then others let them get away with pretty much anything as long as their not putting their hands on kids or DWI or something crazy?

Asked by I was wrong once almost 6 years ago

It depends on the district and the company. Sometimes, districts have to consider how they would look to the general public if their personnel did certain things so they put policies in place to ensure that their people follow them. That's not to say that people don't accidentally mess up now and again.
