Last Answer on February 07, 2021

Thanks again for answering my silly questions. I think they made a law that motor coaches have to go at least ten miles above he speed limit. I never see them pulled over but their always flying. Lol

Lol my pleasure.

Okay why in the movies can someone wait in their house for the bus and the bus driver will honk to tell the kids it’s time to get on the bus. Then in real life you have to stand outside no matter if it is raining or cold, etc and the bus does not even usually pick you up at your house. Why? Why do movies do this and why is it like this in real life? I hate movies they never get anything right. Their like a parallel universe.

Asked by Dndnnd over 6 years ago

Every district runs their buses differently as do drivers run their routes differently. Lots of things that happen in movies are unrealistic to the "real" world as you put it but movie directors aren't thinking about reality, only the fantasy they are creating for the viewer to see. In a fantasy world, all students would sit down, behave, and not bully each other but we both know that's a fantasy too!

So on long trips when you reach maximum hours for the day do you just pull off and make everyone stay at a hotel or send another bus out a day ahead to transfer everyone on?

Asked by Ruth over 6 years ago

Maximum hours? We go over those all the time but don't tell DOT that. Sometimes they will allow 2 drivers to tag team a trip but more often than not we just push through it.

What are some common myths about being a bus driver?

Asked by Don over 6 years ago

That every bus has air conditioning. That it's an easy job to make 50 to 100 kids sit down.

Is it illegal for a bus driver to BLAST country music because she did not like the rap. I get that someone should not turn up their music when she says “TURN THAT HORSESHIT MUSIC OFF” (she was cussing) but then everyone has to suffer.

Asked by Tina almost 7 years ago

No its not illegal. Rude yes. Illegal no. Also turn that horseshit off.
