I don't believe 'bus' is an acronym, it's the word in it's original meaning, that of an object that moves things. A school bus moves people. In computers, a serial bus moves information in a series (one wire) while a parallel bus has many pins to move more information at a time. When the computers were new, they needed a term for moving information.
