Question

How many wheels are there in a bus?

Answer 1

There are only four wheels in bus and one is extra for emergency.

Answer 2

The number of wheels of buses is 6.

• Although some smaller buses have the standard four wheels, it's common for vehicles like school buses to have six wheels. Usually, they have two wheels in the front and four wheels in the back. You might think it's odd to see wheels side-by-side behind a bus, but there are plenty of reasons for that.

• It's to help wheelchairs load and unload. Before the ADA took effect in 1990 all city buses had a high floor like school busses but after the ADA there was a need to Assist people in wheelchairs.

• Load-carrying heavy vehicles are provided with a large number of wheels so that the load (weight, force) is distributed over the larger surface area of the wheels in contact with the road. Hence, the pressure decreases and the tires don't get stuck in the ground.
