(Pat Livingston photo) Awareness course proved interesting for. bus drivers A safety awareness course for G.T. Montgomery bus drivers was the centre of attention for 30 of its drivers last Saturday. Ian Montgomery said they adapted the course, taken from the School Bus Operator's Association, to fit the space available at their Campbell Street location. The course involved many aspects of driving with 13 check points, and a total of 640 points available as a perfect score. Ian said participation was strictly on a voluntary basis, and was a means of "building more pride in our drivers, and making them realize they are better than they think." G.T. Montgomery bits drivers get together six to seven times a year to hear about changes that affect them and to get to know each other.
