No. We load according to the number of passengers needed and usually plan for that many buses. If something happens, triple up buttercup

How much gas does 1 bus neeeds during the day?

Asked by Leon74 over 6 years ago

It depends on the amount of miles a bus drives as to how much fuel it uses. I fuel up on average every 250 miles and get approximately 50 gallons of diesel.

Report it to the bus driver to get it checked out. The driver should be doing a walk around and checking the bus for defects.

What is it with bus drivers passing people if their not at their stop. Say its raining and your walking and your like right there and the bus driver looks at you and drives away? Why?! I understand if your not out yet or dawdling but come on.

Asked by Mr. Angry about 6 years ago

Not at the stop = miss the bus. That simple. Had you been there on time you wouldn't be asking the question. That being said, most drivers are on a time schedule. If you are not out when the driver has asked you multiple times to be out. Expect to get left.
