Why are the red and yellow lights almost always red is on the outside and yellow on the inside unless there are only red lights. Is that a law or just how the manufactures do it?

Asked by Thelma over 5 years ago

That's a good question, I'm not entirely sure why the red is on the outside except that I can guess it's for visibility reasons. Much the same way a stop light has the red at the top, maybe they feel having it on the outside helps drivers?

Okay so I want to ask this without sounding mean. Why do you think some drivers like to pull in five, ten, even fifteen minutes before the doors open? Is it maybe for hours so they can say they get paid more? Or do you think they just want to be there early so if something happens they wont have to worry about being late? Just curious.

Asked by Asker dmsjsjdndn almost 6 years ago

Some like to be first in line. I'll never understand why they decide to pull in and wait. It makes no sense to me. That's why i plan my route to be done right on time.

Was it wrong for me to have a crush on one of my bus drivers? My old PM driver was so hot.

Asked by Some guy somehwere over 5 years ago

It's not wrong, but you have to understand that there has to be a professional boundary. Children having crushes on their teachers and other adults in charge of them is fairly common however it can be a very slippery slope and get both the teacher/adult into major trouble and the child into consequences they did not intend.

Hi Merry Christmas can a church bus, commercial bus, activity bus, or other non school bus legally use the eight way system. I seen a church bus use it once. I also know they usually disable them when they don’t want them to be a school bus again.

Asked by Kimberly over 5 years ago

Merry Christmas. Many small parochial schools utilize a busing system similar to public schools, but I think you are referring to the buses that have been converted to other use by churches after they are done being buses. While not illegal that I know of, the laws may vary from state to state.

Is it sketchy if drivers are in the radio saying where the cops are

Asked by Crown super coach over 5 years ago

Eh, not really. Most anyone who listens to a cb radio feed can figure out where the cops are stationed.

Yes they luckily took them off and put the bus info into SIS but there is still archives of them. So I think people complained but they are still there. Do you think that should be brought up?

Asked by DJ over 5 years ago

I would notify them of the archives and link them to the archives then they can fix the problem.

Is there really anything good about the back of the bus? I mean Rosa Parks did not like it so if she did not like it then it must not be such a magical place after all was it

Asked by Johnny on the sopt over 5 years ago

Not really though kids think they can get away with stuff back there. They really can't.
