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.

What do you think of FFRF nut jobs who say public school bus drivers and even city transit can’t play sermons or religious music because of separation of church or state. Also, reports of school teachers and staff taking Bibles for this reason or andNot letting kids

Asked by Mike almost 6 years ago

Well given its a public school we have to be sensitive about the potential difficulty for kids having different religions. We also live in a snowflake society.

Should we sue if we are forced to wear masks and get wrote up for daring to speak out against it? Health conditions we don’t have to wear them. We barely get paid anything and are already tested horriblely they want to fire drivers or make them want

I wouldn't sue but find other work

Why do some drivers use the radios to just talk and talk and talk non stop all the time and never let people who need to use them on because they just wanna hear themselves talk I guess.

Asked by Donald over 5 years ago

Because they like to hear themselves talk and yammer on.

Are these just not the incidents that just drive you crazy? Parents complaint about things that don’t matter. Not every one has the luxury of getting on the bus at 8. Also their made to accommodate the majority of students. even when the routee are https://youtu.be/byQ3WceqM3c

Tbh if a parent wants to bitch about the time the bus comes they have 2 options. 1 become a driver or 2 drive your own damn kid.

Do you think it’s OK to force children to wear masks? What about kids with special needs? What about kids who they don’t wanna wear it or their parents say they don’t want to wear it? Also most masks are in effective let’s make it harder to breathe

Asked by Miss Donna almost 6 years ago

Yep i think its fine because if a parent doesn't like it they can homeschool.

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 about 6 years ago

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

Why do bus drivers open the doors at railroads?

Asked by Sherry almost 6 years ago

We have to listen for the trains as well as look for them. It's part of our safety procedure. Stop. Look. Listen. We cannot always count on the railroad crossing arms to work properly.
