The bus had an unusually large passenger capacity of six as most of Edd's vehicles had a carrying capacity of (or at least) three. It was not self-powered, like most of Edd's vehicles, rather, Ed was used to physically pull it like a horse-drawn carriage. The bus was used to transport the kids from the Cul-de-Sac to the Candy Store. During its maiden voyage, the bus careened downhill, reaching extremely high speeds. Ed could not keep up with the increasing speed of the bus and soon fell behind. The other two Eds abandoned the bus right before it crashed. However, they could hear the crash from down the hill and heard the screams of pain from their customers. Although Edd stated the likelihood of the kids demanding a refund just seconds before the crash, they are never seen giving one out, so it can be presumed the scam made a profit.
- A transit bus (also known as a commuter bus) in the United States is usually operated by an urban-suburban bus line, a governmental public transit agency, or a contractor. A transit bus is normally used on public transit routes and generally must comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). It is typically equipped for city or frequent-stop suburban service, and features usually include a farebox, multiple doors, and efficient and spartan seating, as opposed to more comfortably appointed intercity buses or "express" buses, (although all would be considered mass transit). As of 2005, an increasing number of operations are using articulated buses on routes with heavy ridership. However, several experimental uses of double decker buses have not proved them to be practical in U.S. operations other than for special sightseeing services in a few large cities (with the exception of Las Vegas, Nevada where is currently running The Deuce strip transit service, which is part of Citizens Area Transit). In the United States, operations of most public transit services are financially subsidized by local and state governments, who provide small amounts of matching funds to receive 80% capital grant aid from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation. This agency administers programs which provide funding and support services to state and local agencies which operate a wide range of public transportation services. Organizations which utiltize FTA funds are generally not allowed to use their buses to operate charters in competition with non-subsidized companies and organizations. Hybrid electric propulsion is becoming an increasingly popular option, with New York City, San Francisco, Toronto, Seattle, and Chicago placing orders.
- With the development of bus building technologies and urbanisation, the emergence of specific transit bus features emerged for the different operating conditions compared to other private or public transport bus use. The features of a transit bus are geared for operation on regular urban or suburban bus routes, with multiple defined stops, in a commuting or short-distance leisure role. This is as opposed to all-seated inter-urban or long-distance coach public transport; shuttle buses; demand-responsive buses such as paratransit, or private-hire bus or coach operations. Increasingly, transit buses are built as low-floor vehicles.
