Because "bus" begins with a consonant, "b." For words beginning with a vowel, "apple," "interview," we use the article "an."

You can also use the if the bus you are speaking about is known by readers or listeners. eg

I always get a bus home. ( we don't know about this bus this is any bus). But last night the bus was late so I walked home. ( use the because we know now about the bus it is the one mentioned in the first sentence)
