My Very First Bus Flat Tire
On this afternoon route I was going down this gravel road and heard the loudest pop I think I've ever heard. My right front tire blew out...scared the bejeebies out of me. Anyway....I took some pictures with my phone and thought I'd share them.....

So what happened? Did they bring a new bus to get the kids to school? Did you have to stay with your bus till they fixed the tire?

They brought be another bus to finish my route with. The tire guy came and fixed it and the Transportation Director took it back to the bus garage. I get to pick it up for this afternoon route.
I made a mistake...this is my second flat tire on the bus. First one was a few years back taking a field trip to the Indianapolis Zoo. Had a flat on the rear, but since there are double tires...I made it to the zoo and the tire guy fixed it there.
