i'm in the bus vs i'm on the bus

Both 'I'm in the bus' and 'I'm on the bus' are commonly used phrases, but they are used in different contexts. 'I'm on the bus' is the correct phrase to use when you are talking about being physically on the bus as a passenger. 'I'm in the bus' is less common and would be used when you are inside the bus, perhaps referring to a specific location or situation.
