Minnesota school bus driver on driving, adapting during pandemic

For many K-12 students this fall, another day of school means sitting in front of a computer screen at home. For others, it means hopping on a school bus for face-to-face time in the classroom — but the COVID-19 pandemic has changed how those in-person classes are held, and how students get to school on the bus.

One driver who has had to change the way he does things is Greg Christian. He drives for Schmitty & Sons bus service in the southern Twin Cities metro area, and talked with MPR News host Cathy Wurzer about what that job is like right now.
