Where did On the Bus expression come from and what does it mean when someone says You're on the bus?

I cannot say for all instances but I understood it to mean that you are in effect calling a person retarted. ( learning impaired ). A shorter version of a regular school bus was often used to transport special needs children to and from school, thus the term " short bus " or "you ride the short bus" as a way of saying that you belong on the short bus and are therefore slow or retarded. We understand much more about learning impaired people than we did years ago but for some reason we cannot get rid of the nastiness that went along with ignorance.
