Mc Love made an awesome bus caching in Ann Arbor map as a
prototype:

We will meet, and enjoy a lunch, and I'll pass out some bus
schedules and cache sheets. After the lunch we can split up and
give it a try! Ann Arbor is an awesome city, and their public
transportation is great! I've never done a cache using a bus, but
my good friend, globetrotter.uk in Norwich does it all the time,
and I think its great that we can find a more environmentally
friendly way of caching.
