Now that I remember I had a driver who had this rule too. Is this messed up or do you agree?

Asked by Confused over 5 years ago

Again every driver has different standards.

Hi, thanks I make a point to try and stand on my pour here, in the door, watch out the window, or sit in the car in lightning. It was a problem we had with a former bus driver who tried to take off on many people on those days and did leave some.

If my kids are waiting on the porch or at the door ready to dash out to the bus (not walk slowly) i will wait. However that is generally an exception.

Those regulations are a joke and no one follows them. So what are they going to do about it really? It’s a waste of money to get rid of a good bus that could be updated and retrofitted and buy a whole new bus. That new bus could explains the fleetBut instead it’s replacing a bus that did not need replacing. I don’t think they where breaking any regulations in my state. So it’s just weird.

Retrofitting a bus costs about as much money as purchasing a brand new one off the line. Sometimes its cheaper to get new and as the buses age its like cars, the parts become obsolete and unavailable over time.

Hi, do you think more districts should have programs that track buses and alert parents also alerts that say for delays, early arrivals, and other changes to the bus schedule? Do you think while convenient they raise privacy concerns or not?

I would like to see something like this but it could get abused by parents. I think it could be regulated by each district and company. That way the company can relay info to parents without giving up location info to parents for safety of children.

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?
