Please explain the meaning of the following sentence in conversation
They must have bused some of them in
Hi, Viola. Anybody sitting here?
B: Oh, hi, Tyler. No, have a seat. Looks like the whole dorm came to have lunch today, doesn't it?
A: Yeah, it does; it's crowded. They must have bused some of them in! Hey, in class today I heard you say that you have a big family.
B: That's right. I've got six brothers and five sisters.
A: Wow! That is pretty big! Are you the oldest?
B: No. Actually, I'm the second oldest.
A: That's got to be a lot of work. What do your parents do?
B: Well, my father drives a cab. He works out at the airport at night.
A: What about your mother; what does she do?
B: My mother runs a small family store.
A: What kind of store is it?
B: Oh, we mostly sell food - bread, eggs, milk, rice, that sort of thing.
A: I guess a food store like that would come in handy if you had a large family.

It simply means that 'they', presumably the organisers, brought some members of the crowd to the dining room by bus. Of course 'A' was joking when he said it. Cheers
