Answer 17

USA, NJ

Ours is called NJ Transit

Most of our buses have advertisements on the side.  They advertise movies or the latest thing out.  You never really notice the color of the bus because the advertisement is all over the bus and that changes daily.

The next state over from us is Philadelphia PA.  Theres is called Septa buses.  Not sure but i think there blue and white.

They also have cute little buses that are in the shape of boats that transport people on land then wind up going into the water.  These are very unique buses / boats.  They are white.

If you want different styles of buses then check out Philadelphia Pa.  They have the most unique buses probably anywhere.
