crazy bus

That song that Arthur hates but DW loves. It has nonsensical lyrics such as "busalooey".

I was playing Crazy Bus on some speakers, and an angry mob led by Arthur burned down my house.

blue bus

The Doors reference the "blue bus" in their song, "The End." Other definitions in this site mention that oxycontin may have been referred to as "blue bus" or that it was a reference to the mentally disabled. While it is possible that the first reference has some significance, the second is obviously wrong.

More likely, however, is that this is a direct and literal (not metaphoric) reference to Santa Monica's "Big Blue Bus" system which serves the area of Western Los Angeles, including Jim Morrison's Venice Beach. The Doors were fond of references to LA and it is not surprising that this reference to a local public transit system would go unnoticed and appear confusing to fans outside the area.

"The blue bus is calling us."
"Meet me at the back of the blue bus."

Drum and Bus

The tinny music that emits from a chav's phone on the back of any bus.
Usually accompanied with cans of cheap lager, plastic bottles of cider and mention of the word 'donk' several times.

Person 1: Going to the dubstep rave tonight?
Person 2: Why bother, we've got all the drum and bus right here.

Chav's phone: 'Put a donk on it!'

the little bus

One of those stubby school buses, usually ridden by children with physical and/or mental disabilities and those pupils who have discipline issues and other problems where they are kept away from the "normal" students.
Please see retard bus.

short bus

Generally, the short bus is a smaller version of a regular school bus that carries mentally challenged students to school. On rare occasions, if your school board is a bunch of assholes (like mine), you will be forced to ride in a short bus for field trips if you class contains less than 18 students.

Teacher: We'll all be going on a trip to the art museum Friday!
Class: Hooray!
Teacher: And we're taking a short bus!
Class: ............
Time: Passes
Class: *is riding the short bus on the highway*
Other cars: *point and laugh*
Class: *is mortified*
