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.

What do you think of these lights? https://youtu.be/YEmFb-rbZUU

Asked by Cc about 6 years ago

I would love to see these standard on all buses. I would also love to see more lights to flash even more to help a driver see the bus in question.

What’s your opinion on electric and alternative fueled buses?

Asked by Mickey Mouse almost 6 years ago

Great for inner city and areas that are largely congested where pollution might be a large concern. Impractical for large areas due to limits on how fast and long it can run on the alternative fuels before returning to regular fuel.

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?????

Do yo ever have problems with white knighting when you get someone in trouble?

Asked by Jill over 6 years ago

I had to look up that term. Often parents don't want to hear that their children did something wrong and will often deflect or attempt to deflect the problem in order to draw attention away from their children's behavior.

An example: little Johnny hit on the bus.Momma: well little suzie told him to!

How loud do those radios go on the bus? I heard somewhere some of them have a pretty good bass if you crank them up.

Asked by Sam about 6 years ago

They get pretty loud. From the drivers seat it doesn't sound too loud, but moving away from the noise of the engine it can get really loud. The bass and treble are marginal at best.
