the walls of a bus are sheetmetal thin, while car doors are padded with soundproofing and foam and handles and speakers and airbags and multiple layers of metal. plus the bus seats are benches for easy side movement while cars have bucket seats and seatbelts.

Plus a bus is wider than a car, and takes up more of the lane than a car.

My bicycle also fits in a lane. And I can cover its width with a single arm.
