Throw under the bus

"The designers do get into fights sometimes. They throw each other under the bus a lot."

(Article)

From where does this expression mean they throw someone under the bus? From the bus on which they are together?
Does 'under the bus' means 'outside the bus' or 'exactly under the bus'?
Are there similar common expressions?
Thanks.
