  1. Today i brought my unicycle to school so i could ride after school at
    one of the places where our bus driver drops us off at. I got on the
    bus in the morning and had my unicycle with me. The bus driver didnt
    say anything, maybe because i put it behind the last seat in the bus i
    really dont know, and then on the ride home she started telling us (in
    a voice like you better not bring those things on again) that we cant
    bring SKATEBOARDS or UNICYCLES on the bus because the rules say so and
    all of this other [censored]. Keep in mind though on the way home i had my
    unicycle sitting with me instead of behind that backseat...stupid
    communist bus driver.... She said the only way we could bring them is
    if there was a mounting device outside the bus (i guess kinda like how
    city buses got bike racks) then we could bring them, but its on a
    school district bus so they probably wouldnt let us install a bike rack
    and anyways if your on a bus then i wouldnt even want to mount it
    outside the bus. I asked her if she was being discriminate, but she
    looked at me like she was gonna get me in trouble or sumthn so i
    started laughing. So pretty much she outlawed bringing skateboards and
    unicycles on the bus (As was said before she's a communist). I think
    that is an unfair thing because a unicycle isnt a full size thing..it
    wasnt even in the way.Also skateboards arent in the way either. They
    are super small. I brought my trials uni so it wasnt even big and
    everyone liked it anyways...
    What do you guys think?

  2. Excuse me, but what does her enforcing the rules that she's supposed to
    enforce have to do with her being a communist. I think I'm missing
    something here.

  7. I find that very weird that they won't let you bring your unicycle on a
    bus. Like you said a unicycle is smaller/compact. The way i see it,
    people with unicycles should be let on public transport. It doesn't
    create a distraction. You should try bringing your BMX/MTB on a bus and
    if they complain, Say "i told you so" 😄 😄 😄

  8. even if there was a mount on the front of the bus it wouldn't work at
    least on a public bus because they are designed to hold a bike.... at
    least the ones on the city buses here......

    EDIT: call the school district and ask if there is anything in the
    school bus rules involving unicycles, if there isn't then you can tell
    your bus driver to shove it, because she is wrong.

  9. I took my uni to school. My friends mom took us with our unis. For
    stupid human trick thing. But on the way home we did not have a ride,
    so we had to take them on the bus. My bus driver made me sit in the
    front seat so all my friends sat in the front. So all the littler kids
    had no seats. She got mad at me. I bet she was just jelious.

    skateboards on a bus and yes i had to sit up front with mine one time
    when i had the cool bus driver..and yes she is jealous cause she cant

  11. I think you're mistaken. Communist bus drivers would probably allow you
    not only to bring a unicycle on board but ride it in the aisle as well.
    She's probably a Nazi or a Canadian.

  12. My friend had his 51" monster and I brought my coker on board a bus. The
    driver just laughed at us and said it was the 1st time he ever saw
    unicycles that big. He let us on, but said next time, our unicycles had
    to be of smaller size. 😕

  14. yeah our bus was pretty full...we were fitting 3 to a seat, but she
    knew i had it...we were on a short bus too, buts thats just cause our
    school district is too cheap to give us a full size bus and our bus
    driver suks at driving a full size bus...

  16. Regardless of whether or not the rules explicitly state no unicycles on
    the school bus, your bus driver is NOT out of line to say that you
    can't bring it on the bus. The nature of your post on that you call her
    a communist really reflects more poorly on you than it does on her.

    point made but I'm still thinking, that it wouldn't be too bad to
    actually let the bus driver you know your way around the rules and she
    can't B.S. you

    The bus driver isn't b.s.ing him by telling him he can't bring his
    unicycle on the bus. He acts as if the bus driver were out to get him
    or something. Name calling doesn't solve anything. He should schedule a
    meeting with the principal and explain the situation and allow him to
    make a final ruling on whether or not a unicycle should be allowed on
    the bus.

  19. I guess now that I'm looking at it from your point of view that makes
    more sense I guess I tend to lean toward the side of the angry kid who
    got yelled at for bringing my unicycle on a school bus, when I don't
    think rules state that I can't. but that makes sense.

    The original poster is overreacting a little, but the bus driver is
    indeed BSing him since there is (as far as we know) no rule about
    bringing a unicycle on the bus.
