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.
Most bus companies have a radio system that allows buses to communicate with each other. Though generally the frequency is not available to the public and we cannot communicate with other buses outside the district. Occasionally our frequencies will interfere and interact with the 911 tone out for emergency response and we hear the dispatch. Or can hear the police channel of another city.
I'm not entirely sure what the gold line flag stands for.
Again every driver has different standards.
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.

What's the best way to know if housing prices are going to rise or fall?
No, but i have had to run another route after mine is done, or squeeze more kids on my bus in the afternoons to get them home. There is a driver shortage everywhere and no relief in sight.
Report the driver to the district. Also don't stand on the bus.
Yes. It is. Sometimes driveways are all we have that give us enough space to turn around at the end of a road.
