In the bus

Usually, people say on the bus. For example, "There are many passengers on the bus."

I am going to make up an example below.


(ex) There are many seats in the bus.

I think I should say "in" the bus when I am talking about seats. "seats on the bus" sounds like they are on top of the bus. What is your opinion? Thanks.

ansonguy There are many seats in the bus. That's OK, but personally, I'd say 'on the bus'. I'm sure nobody will think I mean 'on top of the bus'.
