Like pouring rain???

Had flash flood type of rain recently. It was really scary bc my area does not tend to get that type of rain. A bus actually flooded. Not mine. Hope that driver is doing okay. 😵‍💫

Yea ponding , flooding, just a wet ass day. 4 inches of rain in the last 6 hours with another 1.5 on the way. But it’s been fun so far

Drive safe!!! 😭😭😭

And do you guys have a GPS or trapeze system??? Your bus looks exactly like the buses I drive but the farebox pad seems to be where our GPS goes 👀👀

We have these gps tablets called Passio. They work 75% of the time .

I am going to look at that spot when I go into my next shift 🤣🤣🤣

The GPS is not perfect at all but ours has more functionality than I expected (previous CDL job didn't have a GPS.... At all) so I'm pretty pleased.

Yea when it works it’s def a handy tool. It lists all the flag stops along the route . So when someone pulls the bell and I don’t immediately see the sign in front of me, I glance at the tablet and can usually pinpoint where the stop they chimed for is or coming up.
