Hi Zubayer,
This is really a question of meaning. If you are on the bus, it would indicate that you are travelling by bus. If you are in the bus, it would show that you are inside the bus. For example:
She was on the bus when the accident took place and was slightly injured.
He was in the bus during the storm and so didn't get wet.
This would apply to other types of public transport. Of course with smaller types of transport such as car or taxi, you would be limited to saying inthe car/taxi
Hope this helps
