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.

why do bus drivers drive so fast?

Asked by Ronnie about 5 years ago

Its a misconception that drivers are driving fast because of the size of the bus. If a bus driver is exceeding the speed limit though please do report them.

Asked by Sylvia almost 5 years ago

Haha i took a break for a bit and now gotta sift through all the questions that piled up. I'll be back to answering most questions promptly soon.

In states that require school buses to have seatbelts as well as districts that have policy how do they keep them buckled in? Not to play with them? I mean you can’t even get them to sit down and shut up most the time?

????????????????????????????

Though really I have no clue.

What is the double standard of bus drivers (other adults) to kids, ageist? They can eat, drink, chew gum, cuss, yell, dance in the seat, listen to whatever music, etc while kids can’t do any of that because the bus driver (or other adult) is a adult

Asked by June Bug about 5 years ago

Generally i try to make things fair. I do not do anything that i wouldn't allow my bus kids to do.

Is it okay for a driver to let a kid talk to him/her while their driving? What kinds of things do you sometimes talk about with kids about?

Asked by Dayton about 5 years ago

Yes. Of course it is. We talk about everything.

Also can I play slug bug with my bus driver? I think it will be fun but don’t want to get written up or arrested LOL

Asked by Dayton about 5 years ago

Probably not a good idea but you can joke with your driver.

Your also maybe one of my favorite bus drivers. Do you want to be my favorite???

Asked by Dayton about 5 years ago

Sure.
