So you want to be a bus driver?

Remember when school started this year and the new, dare I say it, bus "hub" system debuted? Students weren't picked up and others got home so late that some parents were calling police trying to find their children. Officials with Guilford County Schools spent weeks sorting out the mess, adding buses and changing routes.

How hard can it be to drive students from point A to point B, many people wondered.

Well, starting Tuesday, you can get an insider's view on what it takes to run the district's bus system.

The School Zone (GCS Cable Channel 2) is premiering a new series called "A Day in the Life." The program aims to give a behind-the-scenes look into the day-to-day operations of different departments in the district.

First up is the transportation department. See how officials deal daily with 85,000 passengers, 16,500 bus stops, 680 buses.

The first show is at 2 p.m. Tuesday. After that, "A Day in the Life" airs daily at 8:30 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
