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.
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.
Sometimes but its not my bus per say it belongs to the county so they can do what they want
I'll check it out.
So students whined and got their way.

What's your worst bombing story?
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!
Not unless you want to be removed from the bus by the police in handcuffs.
That every bus has air conditioning. That it's an easy job to make 50 to 100 kids sit down.
