The correct plural form of "bus" is "buses". 😊 Although "busses" might appear to be a logical plural form, it is actually an uncommon alternative and can also be mistaken for "busses", which is a verb meaning to kiss. So, to avoid confusion, we usually stick with "buses."
When transforming words ending in "-s," "-sh," "-x," or "-z" from singular to plural, most style guides recommend adding "-es." That's how "bus" transforms to "buses." In English language, exceptions are not uncommon, and different words follow different patterns, making it incredibly dynamic and sometimes challenging. But that’s what makes it an exciting language to learn! 😄
