The Bus Driver
15 Years Experience
South, ..
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.
There are always routes out there that nobody else wants but I am a firm believer that there is a bus driver for every route meaning that there is a bus driver that will be able to reach the kids on each route in that special way. It is sort of like a matching game, you have to figure out which bus driver matches with what route. Some routes are definitely more challenging than others.
Share Answer: 
Yes. It is. Sometimes driveways are all we have that give us enough space to turn around at the end of a road.
Share Answer: 
It depends on the district. Most districts have rules about when and how early to pick up students.
Share Answer: 
Yes. Given that it's been posted and a fairly widespread practice that for the protection of yourself and others that face masks must be worn, it doesn't surprise me in the least. There are many people out there who feel they are above what the governments can tell them what to do and whom simply won't follow rules. (Fake service dogs are a perfect example.)

How much protection do those bomb disposal suits really provide?
Toll Collector
Do you think there will be a time where all tolls are automated?
CPR Trainer
Is it possible to perform CPR on animals?
Honestly I don't know. I've only had experience with one strobe light which is operated by one switch inside the bus.
Share Answer: 
Someone's gotta do it. It's either that or the district offers remote learning options for the teenagers and not everyone succeeds that way.
Share Answer: 
Rode, yes. Driven, no.
