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.

Thanks. I would I be required to stop for say a church bus with red lights and a stop sign?

Asked by Kimberly over 6 years ago

Better to be safe than sorry. You wouldn't want to chance a child getting hurt.

Was it wrong for me to have a crush on one of my bus drivers? My old PM driver was so hot.

Asked by Some guy somehwere over 6 years ago

It's not wrong, but you have to understand that there has to be a professional boundary. Children having crushes on their teachers and other adults in charge of them is fairly common however it can be a very slippery slope and get both the teacher/adult into major trouble and the child into consequences they did not intend.

Do you like country music?

Asked by Jack over 6 years ago

Yes.

Why don't they have a forum like this but just for bus drivers? Have newbie, ten year drivers, and veteran drivers. Drivers from all over the US. School bus drivers, city drivers, greyhound, etc. Just a bus driver Q&A?????

Asked by Djsksjsjsjj almost 7 years ago

Thats a good idea. My q&a definitely seems to be popular.

Is it possible to volunteer as a reserve bus driver?

Asked by Nsnsnsnd over 6 years ago

Not sure. Can't hurt to ask around.

Yes they luckily took them off and put the bus info into SIS but there is still archives of them. So I think people complained but they are still there. Do you think that should be brought up?

Asked by DJ over 6 years ago

I would notify them of the archives and link them to the archives then they can fix the problem.

Do bus drivers really ever make a kid come to the bus barn and help them clean the bus or repair damage? I have had a few threaten it before just curious.

Asked by RAAARW over 6 years ago

Potentially yes if permission is given by parents and the supervisor of the bus barn. Truthfully just clean up after yourselves and we won't have an issue.
