The Bus Driver
15 Years Experience
South, ..
Female, 37
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.
I slowed down on answering them. Time constraints on my part.
Share Answer: 
Thats why all the strobes ive seen are white. The student lights do strobe on their own on newer buses for visibility reasons.
Share Answer: 
This is true. Radio usage is monitored and restricted by district.
Share Answer: 
It depends on the district. I know that we get approximately 11 sick days every year to use, and we max out sick days at 45 though we can accumulate more than 45. If we have more than 50 at the end of the year we get a 500 dollar bonus. We get 3 personal days per year. Vacation is strictly whatever school schedule is. Leave types are case by case basis and approved by administration.

I don't have experience driving larger city buses though i have driven the smaller handicap buses before. With any job there are ups and downs.
Share Answer: 
Some people just aren't morning people, other people just don't like people. Sometimes these people are forced to get a job doing something they don't care to do. Personally, a job is what you make it.
