Who's Your Driver?
Not everyone is suited to be a school bus driver. School bus drivers are compassionate, outgoing, specially trained individuals who must be able to handle multiple tasks and situations at any given moment.
Langs Bus Lines scrutinizes all of our drivers to ensure that our school bus drivers are able to manage as many as 72 passengers, operate a large commercial vehicle and monitor traffic and road conditions simultaneously at all times.
Required Skills
Driving a school bus encompasses more than safe lane changes and checking blind-spots. Langs Bus Lines' drivers must be able to anticipate the actions of others and take appropriate actions for prevention. Taking extreme caution and remaining calm during intense situations make our school bus drivers defensive drivers. It goes without saying, our school bus drivers have a working knowledge and respect for traffic laws.
"Make a Positive Impact"
Parents put their trust in our school bus drivers, making it important for our drivers to develop a positive, professional relationship with their passengers. A driver that knows your child and your child's after school guardian ensures a safe, successful school bus ride for all.
Langs Bus Lines drivers monitor the behaviours of students and maintain peace and safety throughout the bus. Ensuring the steps are clear, luggage is stowed safely and children remain properly seated are just some ways our school bus drivers protect passenger safety. All of our school bus drivers are trained in basic first-aid, CPR, and emergency situation management. Training in the use of on-board safety equipment and emergency evacuation procedures is a must for all of our drivers. On field trips, our school bus drivers are responsible for knowing the itinerary and are trained to ensure a safe, enjoyable excursion for all passengers.
Special Needs
Not all of our school bus drivers interact regularly with special needs students, but for those who do, it often becomes a specialty. These drivers are highly sensitive and are able to discuss and prioritize passenger needs.
They must have specialized knowledge of mobility and securement devices, and the operation of ramps and lifts. The ability to deal calmly and efficiently with unexpected situations or events - medical situations or change in routes - make these individuals valuable additions to the team at Langs Bus Lines.
