Historically, the types and features of buses have developed according to local needs. Buses were fitted with technology appropriate to the local climate or passenger needs, such as air conditioning in Asia, or [[Bicycle|cycle]] mounts on North American buses. The bus types in use around the world where there was little mass production were often sourced secondhand from other countries, such as the [[Malta bus]], and buses in use in Africa. Other countries such as Cuba required novel solutions to import restrictions, with the creation of the "camellos" ([[Transport in Cuba#Urban buses|camel bus]]), a specially manufactured [[trailer bus]].

After the Second World War, manufacturers in Europe and the Far East, such as [[Mercedes-Benz buses]] and [[Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation|Mitsubishi Fuso]] expanded into other continents influencing the use of buses previously served by local types. Use of buses around the world has also been influenced by colonial associations or political alliances between countries. Several of the [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth nations]] followed the British lead and sourced buses from British manufacturers, leading to a prevalence of [[double-decker bus]]es. Several [[Eastern Bloc]] countries adopted trolleybus systems, and their manufacturers such as [[Trolza]] exported trolleybuses to other friendly states.{{Citation needed|date=August 2010}} In the 1930s, Italy designed the world's only{{dubious|Triple decker bus|date=March 2013}} triple decker bus for the busy route between Rome and Tivoli that could carry eighty-eight passengers. It was unique not only in being a triple decker but having a separate smoking compartment on the third level.<ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=Popular Mechanics|author=Hearst Magazines|title=Three Decker Auto Bus Carries 88 Persons|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7-EDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA286|date=August 1932|publisher=Hearst Magazines|page=286|access-date=1 November 2015|archive-date=15 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210415113411/https://books.google.com/books?id=7-EDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA286|url-status=live}}</ref>

The buses to be found in countries around the world often reflect the quality of the local road network, with high-floor resilient truck-based designs prevalent in several less developed countries where buses are subject to tough operating conditions. Population density also has a major impact, where dense urbanisation such as in Japan and the far east has led to the adoption of high capacity long [[multi-axle bus]]es, often double-deckers while South America and China are implementing large numbers of [[articulated bus]]es for [[bus rapid transit]] schemes.

===Bus expositions===
Euro Bus Expo is a [[Trade fair|trade show]], which is held [[wikt:Special:Search/biennial|biennially]] at the UK's [[National Exhibition Centre]] in Birmingham. As the official show of the [[Confederation of Passenger Transport]], the UK's trade association for the bus, coach and light rail industry, the three-day event offers visitors from Europe and beyond the chance to see and experience the very latest vehicles and product and service innovations right across the industry.

Busworld Kortrijk in [[Kortrijk]], Belgium, is the leading bus trade fair in Europe. It is also held biennially.
