What would happen if you pulled the parking brake at 60 MPH?

Asked by Jonsnsnsjsksk over 6 years ago

The bus makes a beeping noise and it engages slowly to slow the bus down.

Also, are you participating in the thing where they use school buses to help provide breakfast and lunches?

Asked by 02983457 over 5 years ago

Not at the moment. We are offering drive thru breakfast lunch services 2 days a week here but if this continues we will probably look at other options.

What do you do if you hit a deer or some other animal?

Asked by Jane about 6 years ago

Report it to the boss and the boss goes and gets the meat if its a deer. If its a smaller animal like a squirrel we don't generally report it. If its a dog or a cat we let the boss know that way if an angry parent calls he can say keep your animal inside next time.

Can I ask the bus driver not to have my child to sit with another child? The other child is mean to my child. The child push my child up against the window. Should I call the bus company or ask the bus driver?

Asked by Mimi about 6 years ago

I would speak with the driver first. Be careful accusing other kids of actions. The bus is a very delicate balancing act.

So okay there is this bus driver who only lets us sit triple as a last resort. I understand the safety concerns but thats not the weird part. She said its weird for two guys or two girls to have their butts touching.

Asked by Confused almost 6 years ago

Some drivers have old fashioned rules but it doesn't mean that they are wrong. Generally though to avoid harassment or problems I will sit boys with boys and girls with girls.

Has anyone ever gave you a tip before?

Asked by Brandy almost 6 years ago

Yes. It's few and far between but gifts and tips do happen. This one time, I was specially selected to provide transportation for a group of people coming in from out of town and they provided tips which were a welcome bonus.
