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.

Can a bus driver kick you off for playing music on your phone speaker?

Asked by Lee about 7 years ago

Yes, it's a distraction for the driver and if the driver has asked you to turn it off or turn it down then you can be written up or kicked off the bus. Just do as you're told.

Are school buss drivers allude to take a students phone away from them in Ohio

Asked by Elliot about 7 years ago

Yes if the phone is causing a distraction and it is school policy. The school bus is the extension of the classroom and is basically a mobile moving classroom. Do something stupid with your phone, lose the privilege of having it on the bus.

How bad is the bus driver shortage really? What are some reasons that may have cased it?

Asked by Ron about 7 years ago

Come apply and find out for yourself how bad the shortage is. It's bad enough that I am not allowed to be sick even if i get hospitalized by a doctor.

I just asked a question but it wasn't really answered. I asked if it's ok for a bus driver to stop on the side of the road for over 10 mins to take a break? It doesn't have kids in the bus. If so, it must be only a few cause I don't see kids.Everyday

Asked by Stephanie over 7 years ago

Yes it is, bus drivers have schedules they need to keep. The driver may be waiting to start his or her next route. As long as the bus is off the main part of any road and not impeding traffic a bus driver can stop and "take a break" as you put it.
