buses, busses
The plural of the word bus, a large vehicle used in transportation, is buses. Do not double the s at the end of bus when making it plural.
The word buss, with a double s, means kiss. While some dictionaries list an acceptable plural of bus the vehicle as b-u-s-s-e-s, the plural of buss is busses, including the double s, and would therefore create confusion.
