Bus company gearing up for coming school year in Bozeman Jane McDonald | KBZK and last updated 2021-07-27 19:50:57-04 Recruitment, training, and memorizing routes are underway at the Bozeman office of school bus company First Student. âBefore COVID we had 41 routes, eight of which were special needs, and we actually, last year before COVID hit, we actually added nine routes,â Tera Jo Meyer said. Meyer is the location manager for Bozeman First Student and has worked as a bus driver prior to taking a managerial role. With the pandemic keeping most students at home, and off of buses, the Bozeman School District payed for the time the drivers would have been on route, to keep a flow of income steady for drivers. With the pandemic seemingly at rest and schools preparing to open their doors, recruitment is underway to ensure students have a safe, reliable ride to school.
