Thanks very much.

Only one is perplexing.
Cars can move to the side or off the road.
But can buses do the same thing?
I think buses only pause at a stop, or stoplight or during traffic jam.

What do you think?

Yes, why not? They would do so if the need arises.

OK.
A scenario came to my mind.
When the bus has broken down, or run out of the gas, it could pull over.
Thanks.
