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.

So that being said a guy would have to be seated next to a girl and vice versa. She has other weird rules. Asking for someone else.

I am a veratrin driver for around 50 years now. My new district has threatened to fire me if I do not get my act together. Never had those problems in other districts or company's. The director is understanding but people in school board are assholes

What are bus driver stereotypes that are/ aren’t true

Asked by Sally about 5 years ago

Identify the stereotypes and I'll confirm or deny.

If there is a scum bag teen on your route do you go out of your way to make his rides miserable? Either continuously wright him/her up or they just stop riding because they don’t want to have to deal with you? Would you embarrass them?

Asked by Sarah over 5 years ago

No. No. No. I generally try to get through to all my bus riders and make them feel welcome on my bus regardless of past behavior or issues.

Do you get to pick stops times? Do you draft your route and have it approved? Or is it picked by the company/district and it is what it is? What about if you wanted it changed.

Asked by San over 5 years ago

That depends on the district. Some districts choose for drivers other districts let drivers choose the stops and times. If you want something changed, talk politely to your driver about the policy on how to go about doing that.
