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.
State and federal laws prohibit use of a bus if its over a certain age or mileage due to the safety features meant to keep kids safe being constantly updated. Thats why older buses are being pulled to be spare buses and replaced.
Well Karen, go sit in the parent pick up line yourself. Lol.
That depends on the distance to the home. If the child is still 45 minutes from getting home, we will often make a decision to let them use the restroom at a school approved location (ie another school or the board office or the bus barn) Little kids are not as able to hold their bladders like older kids are.
I would think that means that they have an emergency situation that needs attention immediately instead of waiting forever for someone who might or might not respond.

Do you catch less marijuana at the border now that it's being decriminalized in some States?

If you buy an item that turns out to be stolen, do you have to turn it over to the police?
Again that varies district by district. Some districts have a sub list, others have an automated system and still others will have the traditional call in and have your supervisor find somebody to run your route.
I don't know?
Nope, the more the merrier. I only have my opinion so another driver may add their own opinion to questions.
