NATIONAL BUS DRIVER DAY 2021 DRIVERS

8.10am, however, this may vary I sometimes may need to wait an extra minute for a child I expect to be on the bus (some are always punctual, some are running for the bus – you get to know them) this is our policy at Adventure Travel, a child is never left behind!

I carry out a thorough bus check, ensuring all signals, doors and the bus, in general, is safe to drive on the road (a procedure we must do every time we start a shift) my first point of call is to start collecting my first passengers at 7.40am. I am also the Drivers’ Health and Safety Representative for Cardiff Depot, so safety is my utmost priority.Ī normal 'typical' day for me starts at the depot before 7.00am sign-in. As a school bus driver, we are assigned to a school in the area - sometimes covering another school should they need me, our role involves picking up the students at the designated stops near their homes each working weekday, delivering them to the school safely and on time in the morning, then repeating the procedure but in reverse for the afternoon. I am a fully qualified school bus driver on service 816 which services Llanishen High school, Cardiff. Our September blog is dedicated to our school bus drivers, back behind the wheel, ensuring safe journeys to our local schools.
