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.

HAHAHA. Someone asked why buses drive so fast?! Their like the slowest on the roads slower then even semi trucks. Do they even drive over 40 miles per hour? Hell their don’t even usually go the speed limit. A better question is why do they go so slow

Asked by Ryab over 5 years ago

Buses generally are governed at a maximum speed of 60 to 65 mph. By federal law we cannot exceed 55 mph but most drivers will attempt to go the speed limit or at least keep with the flow of traffic.

Hello ma’m what do you think about MANDATING (not recommending or under certain conditions) masks in schools where social distancing can’t be bla bla bla. I personally don’t think it’s right but what do you think? Should schools even reopen?

Asked by Molleigh over 5 years ago

Mandating is fine but the school district needs to acknowledge that enforcement of something like that can disrupt the education process.

Would you recommend during the COVID-19 stats students ride the bus?

Back when we where in school we had a really mean sub and I dared my friend to cuss her out and he did and she started cussing back. So we baited her so can she get fired now or at least written up see how she likes it?

Asked by Katie over 5 years ago

That was a dick move on your part. Next time how about being nice. Baiting someone never gets you anywhere.

Why do some drivers use the radios to just talk and talk and talk non stop all the time and never let people who need to use them on because they just wanna hear themselves talk I guess.

Asked by Donald about 5 years ago

Because they like to hear themselves talk and yammer on.
