Lindsay Francis Selby, 70, will contest charges of driving without due care and attention causing death after the March 2024 crash, which killed Tia Cameron.
The legal challenge is set down for a day-long hearing in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
Police allege Selby was driving a bus that mounted the kerb during peak hour, pinning Ms Cameron against a building in Brisbane.
Ms Cameron had just left a nearby salon and, in horrifying scenes, was pinned against the Anzac Square Arcade building in the city centre.
The teenager died at the scene, while four bus passengers needed treatment for minor injuries.
Council bus driver Selby was charged months later following an investigation.
His case has since sparked emotional scenes in Queensland courts.
Selby was targeted by Ms Cameron's supporters when his matter appeared in court for the first time in June 2024.
He was abused as he left the courtroom, with supporters shielding him as he exited.
The 70-year-old was insulted again as he left the building, with the teen victim's supporters following him down the street.
In May, Ms Cameron's family and friends broke down when Selby's lawyer confirmed his client would fight the charge and the matter would proceed to trial.
Ms Cameron's supporters have attended court wearing T-shirts featuring the 18-year-old's picture.
