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.
Short answer, yes. The bus driver is allowed to assign seats as he or she sees fit. Yes, they are allowed to confiscate your items if they are a legitimate distraction.

If you buy an item that turns out to be stolen, do you have to turn it over to the police?
All strobes on buses that I've seen are clear white. It can be a seizure risk but seizure susceptible people shouldn't be driving.
Share Answer: 
If yelling was a reason to lose a job, I'd have been fired a long time ago.
Share Answer: 
It depends on the district policies and is generally left up to the personal call of the driver in charge. For example, if I have two middle school or high school kids fighting, I will call the cops. But if the kids are elementary, scrawny and tiny, I'll intervene before they beat the snot out of each other.
