Florida driving the school bus

[GoldenTV]

In the sixth season where Florida find a job as a school bus driver, was wondering doesn't she need a commercial driver license (CDL) for that job? And special license at that since she will be carry passengers/student.

She just applied for the job, did a physical and then was working as a bus driver.

Yeah, and it is hard driving a big bus if you don't even have much driving experience in a car. The Evan's didn't own a car, so even if Florida had a drivers license and knew how to drive she probably hadn't driven in years ! To just up and be able to drive a big school bus with no bus driving /training lessons !?

And to make matter worse, she was driving a manual transmission (she mentioned it in one episode) bus which definitely does require prior experience with such a vehicle.

Exactly, you would have thought they would have given her another job that made was more realistic.

Alderman Davis help her get the bus driving job. Maybe he could have help her get a job as secretary in one of government offices.

I thought his niece was up for the job. Then she got humorously shut down by Gary Coleman's character.

He was toned down a lot when he starred on Different Strokes later that fall
