* A label on the rear of the Bus in GTA IV comically reads that "this bus uses no technology", parodying labels on New York City buses that read "this bus uses clean-air technology".
* A label on the rear of the Bus in GTA IV comically reads that "
* There is actually a "Bus Driver" character model and in the GTA IV game files. This suggests that buses were going to be used as a way of transportation around the city, but that this feature was later cut from the final game for unknown reasons.
* As with several other vehicles capable of laying sideways, if one flips the bus onto its left hand side and begins to reverse whilst turning slightly to the left the bus will begin to rotate at very high speeds. If one points the left stick towards the bottom and still to the left the bus will rotate in the opposite direction. Another vehicle that is capable of this would be the [[Mule]].
* Although there are two doors on the bus, one for alighting and exiting the bus, only one door (the door at the front parallel to the driver) is used. However, both doors will open when used in multiplayer mode.
* Only one person can exit or board the bus at one time, making escaping the police with more than one person accompanying the protagonist more difficult.
* It is not possible to bail out of a moving bus as the driver in GTA IV, as hitting the exit vehicle button will apply the brakes first.
*Unlike Buses in previous GTA games, in GTA IV the bus can be resprayed at a [[Spray Shops in GTA IV|Pay 'n' Spray]], but can only fit in the ones in [[Broker]] and [[Leftwood]]. This has been proved in multiplayer and single player.
*If the player kills the driver of a moving bus in GTA IV, his body will remain in the bus no matter what. If the player jacks the bus, the driver will suddenly become alive, walk out through the door and die again.

This is the only place where the buses are seen driving instead of parked (with the exception of triggered buses in missions). If spooked, they can sometimes wander off the road and towards the city.
