for this one I think you can figure it out. Mr Harlan made the rules, - protect the kids is pretty standard - he would be able to recognise his old classmates and realise they shouldn't be there. - learn the kids names helps you learn which kids are alive cause the dead ones only appear when it's raining or the bus is almost empty. - The mirror and lay down rules probably happened by looking and realising the dead reflections and by a kid getting a dead seat mate.

This used to be my job, which made the story significantly worse for me. Whoever wrote this should have done a bit more research. There are two huge things in regard to being a bus driver that were not taken into account when writing this story. 1. You are given a list of every single student on your route. This leads into the biggest flaw in the story. 2. YOU DO NOT PICK UP ANY KIDS WHO ARE NOT ON YOUR LIST. YOU DONT KNOW WHO THEY ARE. YOU DONT KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING. THEY COULD BE WAITING FOR ANOTHER BUS TO GO TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL. Doing this can land you a kidnapping charge, ESPECIALLY when its done the way it was here. Children usually listen to adults, and a child who is not on your route will likely STILL get on your bus if you tell them to get on. If you want to be "helpful", like yhe man in the story, you call dispatch and tell them the issue. Picking up kids that arent yours will get you fired and possibly jail time.

When I was in elementary school, I remember several big fiascos happening where a kid got on the wrong bus and effectively went missing, sometimes for hours. Once afterward, they held an assembly and basically hammered it into our heads that we were NOT to get on any bus except the one we were assigned to, for ANY REASON unless school staff specifically told us (or our parents) to do so. This story was cute and I see what it was going for, but that's a HUGE inconsistency with how bus routes actually work.

YES YOU ARE RIGHT I was that kid every year and it was infuriating how much time bus rides wasted of my life ughhh

Oh Baby, this story made me cry. I was close to my bus driver when I was in school.. "Cheryl" all thru school 🏫 . You are my absolute FAVORITE narrator. Your so cute, qnd your voice is calming. This story was.... heart-wrenching... especially with you telling it... JUST had to let you know darling, thank you for your commitment, and keep up your wonderful work ❤❤❤

I loved this one! The combination of traditional freakiness, combined with the caring of adults & innocence of children made it an emotional rollercoaster!

This was one of my favorites by far. Thanks for doing what you do. I have PTSD and just listening to your voice or the stories calms me and I’m able to sleep. Thanks again and keep doing great like usual. Sincerely Joy B.

If he was my bus driver, I wouldn't trust him anymore after he had broken so many rules. I would want a different bus driver after that

Excellent job with this story. It is so sweet. I like buses. Patrick was so nice to you. You took all of them in without a second thought. You didn’t just leave because you thought he was crazy. Bravo!

SPOILER(?): I havnt finished this yet but already I wanna deck the driver! FOLLOW THE RULES!!! Mr. Harlen is a legend!

just found your channel, i like the change up of a greenscreen/ face to face and different scenes instead of just the thumbnail through the whole thing. Reminds me of when i would watch A Haunting or those unsolved mystery podcasts. I can see the work you put it
