A bus to go VS. a bus going
I have to take a bus to go downtown VS. I have to take a bus going downtown.
In native English sense, which one is preferred? In my sense, both are accpetable and meaning of both are the same? Please help me get out of this confusion.
Thank you in advance.

They are both good sentences but carry different meanings. The first states the method of going downtown or the purpose of taking the bus. The second merely indicates the kind of bus needed.
