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.

Do you think it’s a good idea to charge students for riding the bus? Kids on free or reduced lunches can be discounted or ride for free. But I think it could save on taxes and as long as it’s not too much but what do you think?

Asked by Trump is amazing about 5 years ago

No. Riding is a privilege not a right. The moment we bring money into it we remove the authority to kick a child off the bus for acting out simply because his parents pay for the service exclusively.

Yes true and I assume the phone numbers are work numbers. I just don’t like that kids names and every stop and what time their on and off I just there for anyone to see. Thanks again!

You're welcome.

Is it true that sometimes districts and companies illegally use unqualified people to drive buses?

Asked by 885858585 almost 5 years ago

All drivers are supposed to pass strict guidelines and licensing requirements as set by federal and state law. We are required to pass a physical every year and comply with DOT standards. Do bad apples get through and do companies attempt to bypass these standards, yes. But rest assured that they nearly always get caught hopefully before lives are at stake.

Is there really anything good about the back of the bus? I mean Rosa Parks did not like it so if she did not like it then it must not be such a magical place after all was it

Asked by Johnny on the sopt about 5 years ago

Not really though kids think they can get away with stuff back there. They really can't.

Hey do you think I will get written up if I get in the tool box?

Asked by Dawg coollllllll kid about 5 years ago

Probably. Just don't do it because you can lose your riding privilege. Don't say i didn't warn you.

Do you like Louisiana Saturday Night like my bus driver

Asked by CC about 5 years ago

Never heard of it.

How cool is it to drive in the dark morning when it’s Christmas time and all the Christmas decorations are lit up and everything is all lit up down the street.

Asked by Yoooodooooodole about 5 years ago
