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.

Has anyone ever gave you a tip before?

Asked by Brandy over 5 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.

Asked by Danie over 5 years ago

Yayyyyy!!! *does happy dance*

if I had a bloody nose, and it’s time for me to gain entry into the bus, can my driver refuse me a ride to school? my driver kicked me off the bus with “i can’t allow someone with blood on this bus.” i know i get nosebleeds often, so does the school

Asked by help almost 6 years ago

It depends on your district policy. Some won't allow kids that may be injured or hurt on the bus due to liability. Nosebleeds might fall under that category. I would check with your local district.

What do you do if a sub comes 20 minutes early and your dad calls the bus barn and they refuse to send the bus back?

Asked by James over 5 years ago

Ask your dad for a ride or start walking to school. Or call an uber?

Or would that cause them to loose more brain cells

Asked by Honnie over 5 years ago

They already have limited brain cells.

I see thanks for answering my question. Sorry for the long question I just copied and pasted it in and it let it go through.

What do you do if you get a bad note from a sub?

Asked by Silly Willy almost 6 years ago

Apologize to the sub and then my kids and I have a lecture route where I tell them what I expect from them when I have to be out. If they give me more trouble, they don't like the consequences.
