hmm my strictly old English aka Anglo saxon dictionary doesnt give any word bus
nor could there have been a word for a bus in the old English language
but the present English word bus is old enough to go back to 1832 anyway
when a public conveyance which had been called an omnibus since 1820 was shortened to bus
perhaps by commuters in a hurry to catch it
omnibus itself was just an old latin word meaning
for the benefit or use of all & everyone
its forgotten omni part means all & everyone
& the bus suffix means for the benefit or use of
so basically the old English word for bus
to the extent that it really is old at all
came from the much older latin suffix meaning

∙ 13y agothe word bus comes from England because of the large buses they have
they needed to come up with a word for it and came up with bus.
because the people of England wanted it because it sounds right all the time.
