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.
Report the driver to the district. Also don't stand on the bus.
That is a possibility if we reach similar crisis levels as seen in wuhan and in Italy. Just stay calm, practice social distancing, become a housecat and demand a sunny spot at the window.
I would think that means that they have an emergency situation that needs attention immediately instead of waiting forever for someone who might or might not respond.
Probably because the beginning of the year has dropped off. I'll generally get another surge of questions in January.
Security / Bodyguard
Are you expected to take a bullet that's meant for someone you're guarding?
EMT
What was the most gruesome trauma you witnessed while on the job?
Antiques Dealer
Do you think today's "stuff" will one day be collected as valuable antiques?
That would depend on your district and the bus driver. You could ask but chances are good the driver will say no.
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.
Good question! There is usually one box for first aid. That has your typical bandaids and other first aidey type items. Then there is the body fluid clean up kit which we break out in the event a child vomits on the bus or blood is shed. That has gloves and specific instructions on how to dispose of body fluids.
Finally the long thin red box usually bolted to the floor is reflective triangles that we can unfold and pop up when the bus is broken down and we need to give motorists warning of what's on the road.
