Ways to tell them apart:
Buses
is the primary spelling for more than one bus, like multiple vehicles that carry passengers.
Busses
might be used as a plural form of
bus
in some rare instances or dialects, but is largely obsolete in this context.
People commonly confuse
busses
with the singular verb
buss
, which means to kiss.
To remember the difference, think of
buses
as the common way we say multiple bus vehicles in transport contexts.
If you associate
buss
with a soft sound, like a kiss, it may help you to avoid using
buss
for transportation.
