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.

A human.

How do you remember names and faces?!

Asked by Dave over 5 years ago

I take the time to memorize my stops and the kids at each stop. I greet them by name every morning.

Why do drivers always pull their buses into Kum &Go?

Asked by Turtle fan dan over 5 years ago

Probably for the same reason you stop there?

Have you been doing any summer school routes or field trips for summer school now that summer school has started?

Asked by Samual over 5 years ago

As of now, our system is closed until August and then opening will depend on the Covid-19 situation.

When did it become a common practice for school buses to start picking up kids at their houses instead of at bus stops? We never had the luxury when I was younger, why the change?

Asked by ANGRY over 5 years ago

When child predators started abducting kids more frequently. Its a dangerous world out there.

Wassss good so have your ever prepared for a situation like a emergency where they evacuate schools on buses? I have heard of that happening in hurricanes, wild fires, and stuff

Asked by werqweert over 5 years ago

Yes. Have prepared and executed both types of evacuations.

I also heard drivers have a five minute max time they can wait. Is that so and that seems like a long time. Why not just come back and circle or just leave their butt

Asked by Jon over 5 years ago

It depends on the district policy. I usually leave kids if they're late.
