Which word is appropriate?

Hello

I'd like to rewrite the sentence.
Would you help me with this?

#1 If you take this bus, you can get to the museum.

Which verb is appropriate, bring or take?

#2 This bus will take you to the museum.
#3 This bus will bring you to the museum.

Thank you.

' Take ' is appropriate for a direction away from the speaker and listener. (3) may be appropriate in the odd case where the speaker is in the museum, speaking by phone to the listener, and says, 'be sure to get bus #17.... this bus will bring you to the museum'.
