when i used to be a restaurant manager, i had to write out the schedules. easiest way for me like stated above was to work out of excel. since i had all my shifts in front of me, all i had to do was plug in names.
if you're having difficulties scheduling because x person can't work during this day/time, well... that's just an issue you'll work thru after getting to know your employees.
we did eventually move to a program called Hotschedules but you'll need to subscribe to their services and i'm not sure if it'll adapt to what you need it for. we used it for the food service industry schedule. i'm not sure if it'll translate to your bus routing thing.
but it was a good program because once you put in your employee availabilities it only gave options to schedule people who were able to execute the shift.
