As a current school bus driver in NY state. I believe I can explain most of your rants about school buses, school bus drivers and frequent stops. First off different states, and school districts have different policies and rules. All are designed for one thing the students safety. Here in NY state we have some of the toughest rules and regs of any state. On busy roads more frequent stops are required so students don't have to walk down the road to a group stop. I personally don't speed unless I'm trying to get through Buffalo at rush hour. And I pull over to let cars by every couple of stops. I also run a bus with all sorts of lights(strobe on the top, super bright LED reds, yellows and stop arm.) This type of bus, although more expensive has received a great response from the tax paying public. I believe I and my situation are more the norm that what most of you have experienced. School buses are the safest mode of transportation in the world. We haul more passengers in a week than the entire airline industry hauls in a year. Yet we get very little recognition for the lives we save. Feel free to ask me any further questions you might have.
