Bus No.1 or No.1 Bus?

Hey everyone, which one of the following is correct?

1. I'm going to take Bus No.1.

2. I'm going to take No.1 Bus.

By the way, can I also say Route No.1 instead of Bus No.1?

Likewise, when we are ordering at McDonald's, can we say Meal No.1?

Thx.

Hi, The idiomatic expression, in my experience, is 'I'm going to take a No. 1 bus'. I'm not familiar with how McDonald's meals are referred to, but I don't think they use numbers in my local branch.

Where I live here in the United States, we would say:

Tom: How can I get (to) downtown from here?

Sue: Oh, just take the No. 2 bus. / Oh, just take bus No. 2.
