Why are some bus drivers so nice and some are so mean. For real most of my drivers where one or the other either super nice or really like yell their butt off at everyone or be super sweet and only yelled on occasion when no one was listing

Asked by ASDFJKL: almost 7 years ago

It depends on how the kids are to us for many of us but some people are just plain mean. I prefer a quiet approach. I rarely yell, say please and thank you to my kids and they respond much better.

Has anyone ever gave you a tip before?

Asked by Brandy about 6 years ago

Yes. It's few and far between but gifts and tips do happen. This one time, I was specially selected to provide transportation for a group of people coming in from out of town and they provided tips which were a welcome bonus.

What time do you usually get up in the mornings? Some drivers say they have to be up at 3:30 AM and others don't have to until closer to 6:00.

Are the type D buses harder to drive then other types of buses?

Asked by Ronnie almost 7 years ago

Type d buses are flat nose. Ive driven them before and they have benefits such as better turning radius than traditional buses. It takes a bit of getting used to because your drivers seat is 2 to 4 feet in front of the front wheels so you have to get used to swinging around a bit but its fairly easy once you figure it out.
