Sure.

1. The further you walk, the longer you have to wait. (Good, no errors, unless you want to tell us what we are waiting for, and what we are walking to or from:) The further you walk from the bus stop, the longer you have to wait for the bus.

You have to wait 5 minutes for the bus at the first stop (This sentence does not need an if because you are telling us already that we have to wait five minutes. That is a statement . If you want the sentence to be conditional, you could write:) If you wait at the first bus stop, you have to wait for 5 minutes for the bus.

If you walk to the next stop, you'll have to wait a longer amount of time for the bus because it is farther away from the bus's first stop. (The grammar in the sentence you wrote is actually very good, but instead of writing than you should try from when writing about traveling distances.)

2. It takes longer for me to walk to the next stop than it does for the bus to drive to the next stop. (You are being given the longer and the implied time that comes with it. Pretty weird, huh? English can be very strange.)

3. This song makes me dream of winning the Nobel Prize one day. (For a present tense verb like this to agree with the singular noun of song you put an s on the end of the verb. If it was a plural noun, like songs then the verb would not have an s at the end. Example: The bear eats fish, and the bears eat fish.)

4. I think you mean to write: I'll get halfway home before the bus arrives. (You want to tell the reader what the bus is doing.)

5. I was on the bus filming the scenic view as it drove its route. (The bus can be called it because you have already used the bus once in this sentence. The bus would be the antecedent of it.)

Nice job overall though. I hope this helped.
