This is just my opinion, but I bet he just didn't realize where he was. Those bus lanes in Ottawa are made for buses to book it, and he was relatively new to the route. If you look at the train, he hit the engine, so it was just entering the intersection too. Maybe he never saw it initially, and was looking the other way, you always check both ways right? I guess there's a good reason school buses have to stop at crossings regardless of whether there's a train or not. I think it was just a tragic accident, nothing netharious or negligent.
