Do very many buses have air horns? What is the loudest on you have even heard on a bus? Do you think the ones that the locomotives have would help with drivers running stop signs?

Not that I've seen but it would be awesome if we did have air horns. People are gonna run our stop signs regardless.

One more sorry for blowing your email up. Or kindly tell them it is BS and their own personal problem. What do I do if something is or has been done but the parent insists it hasn't or is not good enough.

Asked by Lynn almost 7 years ago

If the parent is being unreasonable, let them know they can continue the issue with your supervisor and shut the door in their face. Bus riding is a privilege not a right.
