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.

So that being said a guy would have to be seated next to a girl and vice versa. She has other weird rules. Asking for someone else.

What other weird rules are you talking about?

Hi so evidently our driver is switching routes after semester. I can’t really blame him but the bus driver we are supposedly getting I have heard bad things about and I think I had her as a sub before. I hear she is really mean and my route is pretty

Asked by Ryan over 5 years ago

Give her a chance to show ya'll how she operates. Also don't be jerks to her just because of what you hear. A bit of peer pressure goes a long way when it comes to handling behavior.

Would you ever start a YouTube channel like Ms.Hoods School Bus Life?

Never heard of her but I'll check her out.

Should I report this bus driver? So I guess our bus was running late and the bus that is 20min before our bus was late. We thought it was our bus so we crossed the road and she ALMOST HIT US! Never said sorry or anything

Asked by Karmen about 6 years ago

Well first off, never cross the road without signal from the driver. You are safer in your own yard than crossing the road before they get there especially in the first few days of school. The driver probably didn't see you because they obviously were not expecting you to come out of the yard or home. Especially if you are not a listed stop on their route. Remember you are still dealing with vehicles. You wouldn't just walk in front of a taxi in NYC just because it's yellow and going in your general direction. Don't be stupid and get killed.

For me or the bus driver? I know that it is illegal and am not planning on bringing tobacco products on the bus. I am just legitimately curious because someone said they are suing the school pressing charges on his driver.

Asked by Samantha about 6 years ago

They can still attempt to sue the school and driver but then they'd have to explain why they had tobacco products on school property. According to the federal law it is illegal to bring drugs on school property. Tobacco is considered a drug. They'll be laughed out of the court.

Is it a good tactic to intimidate and scare the kids into behaving?

No

What do you do if little Jonny craps or pee pees his pants? Or both because usually when you poop you pee. Seriously though what would you do in that situation?

Asked by Mr. Knowitall about 6 years ago

Depending on where we are, take him to the school or take him home. Depending on the situation like legitimate accident or little johnny is just being an ass will determine my next course of action. If he's being an ass, generally I'll write him up.
