Bus Drivers
 

Does anyone think that bus drivers should earn more, because everyday the lives of people/children are in their hands? Shouldn't they get paid for the responsibility they have?

no they're fine. if we start like this, u could go over to the idea that others should get less, some ppl should get more etc etc, and what does that lead to? communism, where some crappy casheer gets more money than a high school teacher.

They should get paid for driving a bus, wich is the wage of a bus driver, they agree to the wage when they get the job... :confused:

Shouldent we pay everyone for driving because every day there putting the lives of the people they drive arround and past in danger? Same with any activity really.

No they shouldn't get responsibility pay as buses are deemed to be a very safe method of transport and they only get the job after displaying responsibility in driving. Buses aren't hard to drive, whereas Aircraft are, and you are alot more likely to die if something goes wrong in an aircraft.

Our buses gears completely went one day, and the driver just drove on as if nothin had happened. And kuz he couldn't stop, we had to JUMP off the bus at our stops!

I think they should get paid less, for dangerous driving... I've nearly been forced off the road by oncoming buses three times in the past 12 months. :mad:

Bus drivers START at more than $10 and hour, thats 2 or 3 more than teachers. Teachers are much more important in my opinion, they do more work and are more involved with children. They need no more money spent on them.

Re: Bus Drivers
 

yea they do more work then just driving a but for 30 minutes to 2 hours at most so is that harder then a teachers job??? heh if it is somethings wrong......i think that bus driver job is really a side job for a person that works 2 jobs and its just something to make a little xtra money unless they work that the school.

I agree with Patey13 i think the pay is crap and they should get more. Teaching is a doddle and the pay is fine.
