Female, 37

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.

Is that you in the Halloween shirt?

Asked by Zz over 6 years ago

Idk what you're talking about??

What is better Bluebird, IC, Thomas, Lion, or some other manufacturer?

Asked by TT over 6 years ago

We have Bluebirds and International bluebirds on our yard. I don't have experience with any other type of bus.

Can I ask the bus driver not to have my child to sit with another child? The other child is mean to my child. The child push my child up against the window. Should I call the bus company or ask the bus driver?

Asked by Mimi over 6 years ago

I would speak with the driver first. Be careful accusing other kids of actions. The bus is a very delicate balancing act.

What do you do if you hit a deer or some other animal?

Asked by Jane over 6 years ago

Report it to the boss and the boss goes and gets the meat if its a deer. If its a smaller animal like a squirrel we don't generally report it. If its a dog or a cat we let the boss know that way if an angry parent calls he can say keep your animal inside next time.

What is the worst bus you have ever drove?

Asked by Lol over 6 years ago

I've had my share of bad buses. Probably one that I've had to call the cops to

Heres a question for you, why are most type D buses shorter then the Type Cs? Noticed the same thing with Bs

Asked by Marla almost 7 years ago

I'm not entirely sure but it has to do with the make and model of the bus. Some school buses are 72 passenger and others are 90 passenger and still others are even less. So it just depends on the need of a company.

So okay there is this bus driver who only lets us sit triple as a last resort. I understand the safety concerns but thats not the weird part. She said its weird for two guys or two girls to have their butts touching.

Asked by Confused over 6 years ago

Some drivers have old fashioned rules but it doesn't mean that they are wrong. Generally though to avoid harassment or problems I will sit boys with boys and girls with girls.
