Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?
Bus is masculine in French because it's a shortened form of "autobus," which derives from Latin "auto-" (self) and "omnibus" (for all), and the word inherited the masculine gender from "omnibus." This is a straightforward case of gender being preserved from the Latin root word.
