It is sad that the 13 ABC WTVG NEWS has to search for stories. If School bus driver are being distracted its because drivers are trying to run student red lights, rushing pass the bus so they won't have to wait for student to leave or board the bus and just nasty to school bus drivers. No, driver should not be talking on the phones, but let us not focus on thing that should be reported when it happens. Leave School Bus Driver Alone. Search for ways to lower GASOLINE prices.
yes. this is a serious issue. And I'm sure that lots of parents are enraged. Are theses the same people who themselves are talking on cell phones while driving? Are these the same parents who endanger their kids by allowing the underage to ride in the front seat? Let's talk seat belts, car seats. Let's stop throwing stones. Cell phones are a serious problem, but let's not all climb aboard and point fingers at school bus drivers. If we are so worried about those drivers being distracted, let's talk to are kids about throwing things, fighting, being disruptive and unruley on the bus. If we want to point fingers, stand in front of the mirror. Let he who is without sin.......
PLEASE, could we have someone do a story on the wounderful little passengers we have one our buses!!
I would love for the public to see and hear what a real live school child sounds and ACTS like on some of our buses. Distractions, well let me show you some video from a school bus or even a TARTA bus with school kids and Adult Passengers! I have expeienced both as a driver for schools and transit! There are many many more distractions that a bus driver has to deal with, you and the public have NO idea what we deal with on a day to day basis. PLEASE SHOW THE PUBLIC THE OTHER SIDE! Let's see and hear how the public treats BUS DRIVERS!
let us take a look at a real distraction. How about the sudents who are fighting, standing and throwing object (at the bus drive!) While taveling on a busy street a student starts a fight! What DO YOU DO? We (bus drivers) have to deal with this EVERY day! Hay channel 13, do a real story on the students who ride the buses and I am sure you will have SOME NOT SO PROUD PARENTS! Let's just see how upset these parents are when they SEE what their BABY is doing on the ride home! Try to dive a Bus when you have 20+ students yelling standing changing seats throwing things hanging out of windows even fighting. NOW tell me your child isn't a distraction! It is my job to get your child home safe, do you think it could be your job to teach them some manners? Channel 13, WAKE UP THE PARENTS, do us all some good!
