I took a nap on the bus because I have to get up early. I was woke up by a alarm and a very angry sub at a gas station. Not my fault she did not announce the stop. But she was mad at me. She should have said sorry. Can she get fired?

She cannot get fired for doing her job and checking the bus for sleeping kids. We can get aggravated and upset at kids that sleep but understand that you're human.

Do you think more buses should have jake brakes? I know some do but it is rare. What do you think?

Asked by Lennard almost 7 years ago

Most school buses are now automatic shifting so jake brakes are not necessary or needed.

I think it may have something to do with the school board though they think they need to get new everything. I think the buses where about 20 years of age. Their down a few buses as well because some did not get replacements.

School boards don't like to spend money if they don't have to. One of the first things to go out of a budget is transportation funds.

It also times the bus every minute of the route where it goes and every turn it makes so you could approximately track the bus .

Asked by DJ over 6 years ago

Moat districts have a time schedule for buses listed and yes if there was someone who wanted to harm children this could be a problem. The only major issue i see is where you mentioned the names of kids listed.

I can get over that stuff. Just most subs try and put the bus back the way they found it. Like I sad though I get a lot of complaints on her and want someone who will work well with them.
