I need to know this ASAP. My son's new bus driver is making my son get off of the bus a the street corner when his bus stop is my driveway. My neighbor's yard is 150 feet long and my driveway is 20 foot from the property line. The street corner is another 20-30 feet on the other side of her yard. This makes the distance between the acctual bus stop and where my son is being dropped off a total of about 180 feet (give or take 5-10 feet). The law (or regulations) states that the bus can drop the children off no more than 2 bus lengths from their bus stop.

I will be out there today taking an exact measurement for myself. I do not believe the bus is letting him off within the 2 bus lengths. We have 2 convicted child preditors living in or within 3 miles of us. It is not safe for my son to be getting off where the bus driver is putting him off.

The woman incharge of transportation will be out to my house next week.

  1. what is a bupper?


  2. On ebay (auction) is a 71 passenger Bluebird bus which is

    444"  in length  (37' )  This  is a large bus

  3. 1.  call the transportation office.

    2.  why aren't you out there meeting him if he's too unsafe to walk?

    3.  tell your son to run the 170 feet.

    4.  ask a neighbor to watch him walk.

  4. So he has a house stop instead of a corner stop? A house stop should be made at your driveway. My bus is a 72 passenger and is 39 feet long. But they do vary so call transportation and ask them.

  5. 32 feet to 40 feet depending on model. You need to simply walk to the bus stop one day and with a tape measure, quickly extend it real fast for an estimate. Or, go to where they store the buses. Or, while the bus is sitting at the school. But, the best thing to do is call and ask. Call the garage and ask to speak with a mechanic. Wait for the woman in charge just to be perfectly safe and not in anyone's way about this. Just a suggestion.
