BUSING: Companies are looking for more drivers

“The pandemic has caused the operators to fall behind since during the stay at home periods they were not able to recruit or train.”

Additionally, recruiting and retaining drivers has been more difficult than normal because of the higher risk involved in the work, he said.

Anyone who is a safe driver, likes children, wants to contribute to the community and earn supplemental income is encouraged to apply to school bus companies who are seeking drivers, says Bourgault.
