If you live in the NY/NJ area, do you give a holiday tip or non-cash gift to your kids' bus drivers? What?

I don't live in NY/NJ, but as I was growing up we always gave the driver a tip. Depending on who it was (kind/nasty) they all got a sealed envelope with different amounts of cash.

When I lived in NY, yes, I gave all my kids bus drivers a cash tip. I don't remember how much, though. I don't think anyone else by my bus stop did, but I might have not noticed.

I do live in NY, and it is definitely expected to give cash holiday tips. As the previous poster indicated, the amount can be based upon performance. I tip at the end of the year, as well.

When I was growing up in Brooklyn my parents ALWAYS tipped our bus drivers during Holiday Season as well as at the end of the year.
I don't know what my parents tipped
But you should probably consider: Is it door-to-door transportation? Do you or your child think the bus driver is anything extra special? Is it a small van or a big school bus?

I do. Last year I loved my child's bus driver and I tipped him well, this year I dislike my kids' bus drivers so I'll probably give less.

Nodding to Clarissa. I could use the cash.
Years ago, someone saw me leaving tips for the garage staff in my building, and asked why I did that. I responded, *Because I like the fenders on my car* They saw my point.
Yes, we tip the bus driver. Last year, the Dept of Pupil Transportation, in its wisdom, switched our driver in mid-December, so we gave only a small tip.

We have a Jewish bus driver so we give about $25 at Chanukah time. To the bus Morah we give tray of chocolates.

Right you are. Okay, here's a tip. Don't spit into the wind. Don't eat yellow snow. See? Two tips. Now you can't call me cheap.
j/k, the check is in the mail.

We give the super a piece of meat . It's worth more than the cash we might give.
