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.
No. We load according to the number of passengers needed and usually plan for that many buses. If something happens, triple up buttercup
Because we are generally shorthanded everywhere. So be ready to get on the bus whenever it gets there.
Most drive thru's have height restrictions that basically prevent buses from going through them.
One with air conditioning.

Do you think it's just a matter of time before all U.S. companies move their customer support overseas?
Many of us have second jobs that we go to during the day. Some are lunch room workers and others like myself work outside the bus job and school system during the day. Some people don't have to work outside the bus so they are either stay at home parents or retirees just looking for a little extra income by driving a bus.
Going by "grandpa" is okay though a bit of an odd choice. Allowing a kid to give a hug if the kid wants to is okay. I have several kids who give me hugs when and IF they want. Getting kisses from kids is weird and not something I'd allow. Kids can be overly affectionate and need to be taught boundaries with adults.
Don't become a bus driver. You will forever be searching for ways of making extra money.
