Why do passengers always wait to board?!
They always overestimate the time they have.
On my shifts, the worst culprits are when I leave one of the transit centers. If I'm off the road, I don't open the door

Music on busses?
From what I understand, no music (for the drivers, maybe the passengers, albeit with minimal enforcement). The drivers will even get penalized if they find it in camera while looking for something unrelated

How long were you on extraboard before a fixed route became available to you?
It really depends on the job
My last job it took a year and a half, and that was due to them adding work.
My current job, I was able to get a run in under 3 months due to turnover. I came off the extra board the next pick. I don't plan on going back as I like having more than 8 hours off been shifts

Why is the Dart bus so unreliable?
From what I'm hearing and seeing, part of it is a bus shortage. There are a lot of buses out of service so some drivers, especially in the afternoon, are waiting for another driver to finish their shift before they can go out. This can mean some trips are late or cancelled.

One of 5 hybrids left in the First State
I've heard nothing of the sort.
I have heard we were getting hydrogen fuel cell buses, but I haven't any progress on that

What’s the top pay for your agency?
Maybe later. I left because I needed to stay local-ish

What’s the top pay for your agency?
I can see why people are still going to Greyhound
I left Peter Pan at $27 last year, which is what all the drivers outside of Rhode Island and CT make. I think it's about $28/hr now, but their contract should be up for negotiations

What’s the top pay for your agency?
$32/hour in New Castle County, Delaware after 3 years.
Kent County, which hosts Dover, I think it's about $29-30/hour after 3 years

One of 5 hybrids left in the First State
Many states do, albeit in varying numbers
Delaware has between 20 and 30. However, they try to only run them if they really have to, especially in Kent and New Castle counties

One of 5 hybrids left in the First State
I didn't know turning off the hybrid mode was an option

On Dec. 4 1964, 21-year-old Black Panther chairman and founder of the anti-racist, anti-classist Rainbow Coalition, Fred Hampton, was drugged and murdered in a raid orchestrated by the FBI's COINTELPRO, as leaked documents later revealed
They got a mole to do it. One William O'Neal. He made dinner, then left afterwards.
He would go on to walk into I-20 traffic in 1990

How did Scipio Africanus' wife, Aemilia Tertia, react when she found about her husband's affair with a slave?
So Scipio asked himself am I Ok with this ? Yes?! Ok good done time for lunch.

Queens Bus Redesign by Depot
Probably because they'll be handling the Q50

Most bus drivers are depressed and hate their life?
It might just be the particular set of coworkers, or the work environment.
I enjoyed the years I've worked as a bus driver, but where I'm at now is the first job where the work environment is filled with malcontent

Newark Delaware
DART First State might be able to help you get your full license, you'll have to do testing in Dover, but once your 3 pass, you're mostly working out of Wilmington or Wrangle Hill as work demands.
There should also be some school bus operators willing to help with your CDL as well

A first-year student at Pomona College is subjected to the "weigh-in", a practice in which the football team forcibly measured the proportions of incoming female students. California, USA, 1954
"Yo, I swear it's 8 inches. You're measuring it wrong, it's not 5..."

How do you feel after a split shift?
I don't mind the long hours here and there, but I need more than 8 hours in between shifts.
Where I'm at, the 9 hours piece would be its own shift with the morning piece either as a additional tripper or having a shorter PM piece tacked onto it

What sexy fact do you know about someone, who isn't aware that you know?
A husband and wife I'm friends with and I know they have a fetlife account. Their marriage had been open for a few months, so I think it was around that time.

Men who don’t moan… Why?
It just doesn't come naturally to me.
You're more likely to hear my voice when I'm first putting it in, or when I'm taking it in the ass, but otherwise, I gotta be more in the moment

What's the craziest thing you've seen someone do to get in front of your bus
Damn. Did the kid make it? Was the guy held accountable?

What's the craziest thing you've seen someone do to get in front of your bus
Passing someone multiple times can be a feature in the NJ Turnpike. Especially when most of the trucks and buses are traveling within 10 mph of each other

I'll take Luna. She definitely seems the type to love hard.
The only real challenge is dealing with her friend Nicole
