A typical diesel engine only burns a small amount of fuel when idling (think 1 gallon an hour). BY leaving the bus idling the driver is avoiding any issues associated with having the bus not restart if they shut it off (Dead Batteries, Gelled Fuel). This is especially true in colder climates when the temperature drops.
