The episode starts with Squidward impatiently waiting for the bus. When the bus finally comes, Squidward is annoyed at the driver for being late. During the bus ride, Squidward makes many annoying comments, making the bus driver increasingly mad. He arrives at the [[Krusty Krab]] and Squidward comes out, only for him to tell the driver that he could do his job better than him. The bus driver states that he could do Squidward's job better than him. Listening to this conversation, Mr. Krabs intervenes and tells the two that they should switch jobs to settle things once and for all.

Squidward starts driving the bus, with several of the passengers disliking him as the bus driver. However, Squidward still enjoys being the bus driver until SpongeBob comes along as that day and plays around in the bus as that day was his bus-driving day, much to the dismay of Squidward. After a while, Squidward sees Patrick wanting to go on the bus, and tries to drive past him, but fails to do so. SpongeBob and Patrick start playing around in the bus again, distracting Squidward from driving as well as hurting passengers on the bus.

Because of SpongeBob and Patrick's antics, all the passengers except for the two leave the bus. Squidward walks out of the driver seat to the back of the bus and demands SpongeBob and Patrick leave the bus, but since he left the driver's seat, the bus goes out of control and goes off a highway into the depths of [[Crush County]]. Since the bus was not designed to withstand the pressure at this location, the entire vehicle starts to crush down. The three get scared, but thankfully SpongeBob has a map that allows Squidward to drive the bus back to the Krusty Krab. The bus driver is seen trying to deal with the customers at the Krusty Krab, but he gets frustrated and quits the job. The customers are satisfied to see Squidward as the cashier again, making Squidward happy to have that job.

Characters

Synopsis

The episode starts with Squidward impatiently waiting for the bus. When the bus finally comes, Squidward is annoyed at the driver for being late. During the bus ride, Squidward makes many annoying comments, making the bus driver increasingly mad. He arrives at the Krusty Krab and Squidward comes out, only for him to tell the driver that he could do his job better than him. The bus driver states that he could do Squidward's job better than him. Listening to this conversation, Mr. Krabs intervenes and tells the two that they should switch jobs to settle things once and for all.

Squidward starts driving the bus, with several of the passengers disliking him as the bus driver. However, Squidward still enjoys being the bus driver until SpongeBob comes along as that day and plays around in the bus as that day was his bus-driving day, much to the dismay of Squidward. After a while, Squidward sees Patrick wanting to go on the bus, and tries to drive past him, but fails to do so. SpongeBob and Patrick start playing around in the bus again, distracting Squidward from driving as well as hurting passengers on the bus.

Squid's on a Bus 114

Because of SpongeBob and Patrick's antics, all the passengers except for the two leave the bus. Squidward walks out of the driver seat to the back of the bus and demands SpongeBob and Patrick leave the bus, but since he left the driver's seat, the bus goes out of control and goes off a highway into the depths of Crush County. Since the bus was not designed to withstand the pressure at this location, the entire vehicle starts to crush down. The three get scared, but thankfully SpongeBob has a map that allows Squidward to drive the bus back to the Krusty Krab. The bus driver is seen trying to deal with the customers at the Krusty Krab, but he gets frustrated and quits the job. The customers are satisfied to see Squidward as the cashier again, making Squidward happy to have that job.

Trivia

General

  • This episode was paired up with "The Goofy Newbie" during the original American airing, but has since been re-airing with "The Krusty Bucket."
  • The title is a play on word on the nursery rhyme song "Wheels on the Bus."
  • The background of the title card is the same as "The Getaway," except it is orange instead of blue, and is turned upside down.
  • In Australia and New Zealand this episode was originally going to air on August 8, 2019 for an event called Animated August, but was replaced with "Insecurity Guards," and pushed it to April 24, 2020.
    • Before airing on April 24, 2020, this episode was released on Foxtel from around August 2019.
  • "My leg!:" - Patrick chasing SpongeBob around the bus and they bump into Fred.
  • When Squidward falls off the window, and when his head turns all the way around, the sound effect from Squidly Tentacles being crushed at the end of "Dunces and Dragons" plays.
  • A clip of this episode was shown in a commercial for "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout."[2]
  • The official SpongeBob SquarePants account calls this a "new episode" despite the episode already aired in September 2019.

Errors

3FDC49BE-EBF8-409D-AB12-9AC62B2E1596

Squidward's watch is missing

  • In the opening, Squidward appears to be wearing a watch on his right wrist. When the bus door opens, Squidward doesn’t seem to be wearing a watch anymore.
  • There is a bus stop for public buses closer to Conch Street, which makes no sense because that only works for school buses, not public buses.

Sky error

  • When SpongeBob starts to put his pennies in the coin deposit, it turns into night, but in the next shot, it's taking place during the day.

Squidward's shirt error

  • In one shot where Squidward is fussing at SpongeBob about where his stop is, Squidward's shirt is not placed correctly and his neck is not connected.
  • When the bus starts to rock, there are passengers inside the bus. But from the outside view, only Squidward is on the bus. The passengers reappear in the next shot.
