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.

Yayyyyy!!! *does happy dance*

So next time someone puts their hair over the seat and it blows back at me can I take scissors and cut her (or even his) hair off? Maybe take a lighter and catch it on fire then take the fire extinguisher and put it out?

Not unless you want to be removed from the bus by the police in handcuffs.

Question have you ever had someone in your years of driving had someone you did not like.

Asked by Question maker about 7 years ago

Yep.

Why does not every state require yellow/amber lights and only the reds?

Asked by Darren over 6 years ago

I'm not exactly sure.

Would you ever drive for a company like Greyhound or Megabus?

Asked by Jay Dillion about 7 years ago

If the pay was decent, yes.

Do bus drivers get paid by the hour, by the mile, or some other way? Does it depend on the company or district.

Asked by Stan almost 7 years ago

It depends on the district and the company. Most districts/companies are moving away from mileage and going towards a flat hourly pay scale for drivers. This reduces paperwork and allows for better flexibility in pay increases. That way a driver who has only been there 5 years isn't making more than a driver that's been there 15.

Stop spamming you bastard

Thanks for noticing it. I just deleted the spam questions and will be addressing the other questions later today.
