Well, generally in a short story titled 'the bus', it might center around the characters who use the bus regularly. Maybe it shows their daily commute, their hopes and dreams during those rides. For example, it could tell the story of a young student who meets an interesting old man on the bus every day and through their conversations, learns valuable life lessons. Or it could be about a bus driver and his observations of the different passengers throughout the day.
I don't know for sure since I haven't read it, but common characters in a night bus story could be the bus driver, passengers like a tired worker, a student, or an elderly person.
A musician could start playing his guitar at the bus stop. People would gather around to listen. Some would start dancing, and when the bus comes, they would all cheer and wave as the musician gets on the bus, still playing his guitar.
At the bus stop, a little girl was waiting for the bus to go to school. She had a bright red backpack and a big smile on her face. When the bus finally arrived, the driver greeted her kindly. She hopped on, excited for the day ahead.
I'm not sure as I haven't read it specifically, but generally in a short story about a night bus, it could be about the various characters one meets on the bus at night, their stories, or the unique atmosphere of traveling at night on a bus.
Since I don't know the details of this short story, I can't give a proper summary. But generally, a summary would include the main characters, the main events that happen during the bus ride, and perhaps the resolution or outcome of those events.
In 'The Back of the Bus' by Mary Mebane, perhaps it shows the different perspectives of the people sitting there. It may touch on issues like inequality. For example, if it's set in a time of racial segregation on buses, those at the back might face discrimination in terms of space, comfort, and treatment compared to those at the front. The story could also be about the conversations and relationships that develop among the passengers at the back, which might be different from the rest of the bus.
