I'm rather disappointed I missed out on getting any photos of the required bus, and I would've not submitted anything without it, but I do want to submit these for a chance.

Another close result.

In keeping with my recent tradition, the bonus category for the next round has been inspired by this round: so for December we will be looking for photos with more than one bus.
