the plural for 'bus'

My Longman claims that the plural for 'bus' can be either 'buses' or 'busses'?
The latter form looks unusual to me... How often is it used in modern English?

The plural for bus "buses" is used because there is a rather rare word "buss". The Cambridge online (http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/bus_1 ) calls "busses" "also US", but Europeans like to blame everything on

"Busses" is usually used as the third-person form of the verb "to bus" which roughly means to bring something from one place to another.
