Buses are basically seen everywhere, in Taiwan, Australia, Japan and many other countries, most countries that I've visited in my life. So I guess it's pretty common for most people to see a bus traveling and loading up passengers in a city.
But if you've ever visited some poor countries in Africa and North Korea, filled with poverty and sometimes communism, or terrorism, you're going to find the situation totally different. They don't have MRT, High Speed Railway and even a Bus!
That's why the lecturer today will name the situation: buses represent democracy. Since buses are the basic representations of public transfers, and it symbols freedom to travel. If the government doesn't want its people to go around poking their heads inside the country, or even have a though of immigration, the best solution would be to limit and restrict all kind of transportation. Not to mention cutting off the public ones.
And that's why we don't see buses going around the city in a lot of countries. In this case, if we started seeing more of the buses lurking around and with many people aboard, it's a good sign of democracy started to bloom in a country, again. And as they started to catch up with the other's progress, eventually the bus fee will become zero, signalling as a benefit of being a citizen of the city, which is also a smart move, and a big action into democracy.
