Smoking Bus, Literally!
Hello Everyone!
My mother and I were going shopping and a school bus in front of us started to smoke. Naturally I take a picture of it, haha.

Most likely burning oil thru the rings or valves.

School buses are usually diesel engine driven.. Which means I find it unlikely it was oil burning, since diesel engine's burn oil as fuel. I bet an turbo boost line failed.

That appears to be coming from under the wheel, or at least from in front of it. If the engine were producing that, it would be likely coming from the exhaust, typically located behind the tires, not in front. Usually the exhaust in on the passenger side, too, at least where I live.
That could be locked/damaged brakes, even.Your one stop shop for decentralization

Considering its a school bus, its entirely possible someone attached a smoke grenade next to the wheel... as a prank...

Hmm, sounds like a school bus that missed some of its service appointments.
It sure happens, though. One of my paraprofessionals drives a school bus, and awhile back the bus kept automatically honking the horn on all left turns. Apparently it really got traffic to clear for her, though! :p
