School bus drivers spend their working hours driving their bus. Depending on the location of the school, bus drivers may transport students through rural, suburban, or urban areas. While it is typical for a school bus driver to mostly drive students from their neighborhoods and drop them off at their respective school(s), bus drivers may also transport students over long distances for various events and field trips. 

 

The core responsibility of all school bus driver jobs is the safe transport of students to and from schools or other educational facilities. Most school bus drivers work a fixed route and schedule. Spare or substitute school bus drivers work a less predictable schedule, filling in for extra driver needs across a school district, either subbing for regular drivers who are out or driving for field trips. There are also drivers who operate smaller vehicles, either for students with special needs or a less populated bus route. 

 

School bus drivers are typically employees of a school district or driving companies that contract with school districts. The primary job duty of a school bus driver is to transport students to and from school safely. Most school districts have a dedicated route and stops for the school bus drivers. School bus drivers also occasionally provide transportation during the school day for field trips. School bus drivers are responsible for the well-being of the students while they are in transit to and from school. They pay close attention to road safety, driving conditions, and the condition of the vehicle. They also need to control student behavior on the bus. School bus drivers will develop a rapport with the students in their care over time.
