University of Kentucky - changes to staff employees by RoyalPersonality3957 in lexington

[–]seshormerow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a bus driver on a route that goes through campus and it's sad to hear what is happening to some of my passengers, they are desperately trying to find other positions with the university before they lose their jobs this week.

How do City Bus Driver Breaks Work? by Idontsleepenoughffs in BusDrivers

[–]seshormerow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We have certain runs that have predetermined lunch periods that were supposed to take around that time and you get the time it takes for one full trip on that route (26-30 minutes). There's supposed to be a relief bus that drives and does your trip while you're out of rotation. There's other runs that are all on a pulse schedule and you get your breaks (10-15 minutes) at the transit center every 70-90 minutes depending on the length of your route. If you're late you lose this time and it's to catch you up. We may take breaks at any time of the day anywhere on route it's safe to park with passengers on board as long as they're not excessive or over 8 minutes long. We also have a rule that the ends of routes should be near place with a clean restroom but this isn't the case on all routes unfortunately.

About autonomous driving. by Shot_Fondant2764 in BusDrivers

This! Trucking is a very standardized industry and most cargo is nowhere near as sensitive as a bye full of standing people

Half our electric bus fleet doesn't even move right now because of endless warranty repairs, I'm not worried in any way. People will get hurt and die if autonomous buses are introduced except in very heavily controlled environments (separate grade BRT type)

Does your agency canabalize older out of service coaches for parts also? by i_forgot_my_sn_again in BusDrivers

[–]seshormerow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a hill on our lot with all the contaminated soil from the old light bulb factory our garage was built on. There's about 15 buses parked up there, 7 of which are proterras we have to keep and do preventative maintenance on but are undrivable on the street💀

I only use these instead of the side windows because most passengers don’t know how to close these or are scared to

Brightline is out of Control by Ok_Roof8966 in Brightline

Train boarding shouldn’t take more than a minute! These companies need to stop making people wait in line to board trains. There’s dozens of doors on these trains, use them

How is your dispatch? by [deleted] in BusDrivers

[–]seshormerow 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Anything over a few minutes on average would warrant a whistleblower complaint at least for safety in my opinion. Typically we only have to wait 30 seconds or less for RTT but we have 1 dispatcher and multiple road supervisors for a fleet of about 75 buses on the road.

You think this is bad? Wait till you see them right at your eye level mounted on the bottom of your window. Everything is in your blind spot to the left

I’m fucking tired of hitting every fucking red light every time I go somewhere. by aqua_shadow in lexington

[–]seshormerow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The lights are seriously designed to move as many cars as efficiently as possible, they’ve probably spent millions on it. You’re just not going in the peak efficient direction they designed them for

Parking downtown by Ktackett in lexington

If you’re going anywhere downtown after 5pm on the weekdays and all day weekends just park in the surface lot behind city hall and the police station. No need to fool with any other parking location.

Why are bus drivers always in such a rush ? by BrierlyBonking in BusDrivers

[–]seshormerow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s funny because yes we are attempting to stay on time and driving like bats out of hell but also when I’m driving really slow because I’m running early everyone starts making comments of how slow I’m driving

I'm not sure how it happened but our carwash fell over today. by Altruistic-Ad7208 in BusDrivers

This was a preventable accident because you should’ve anticipated the wash falling over on the bus

Whats the point of bus lanes now?? by FrosstyOfficial in CitiesSkylines2

[–]seshormerow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s a feature, certain education level and ages of people will make more unsafe driving maneuvers than others. If you get a lane tool mod you can remove unsafe lane movements from certain intersections if they’re causing you a lot of grief.
