The cop would have to petition a search warrent to arrest the guy.
Could the same be said about that bus? As long as the driver is driving safe, the cop has no reason to pull over the bus (but obviously the cop could see a reason) until he has warrent. Is that the same?

It depends if the Officer saw items that may seem like drugs or related items.
It used to be illegal to search a glove box if it was locked or the trunk on a car stop. But the US Supreme Court changed that law.
Now, if the Officer feels in fear of or worrys about safety then they do have the right.
In applying to the bus, there can always be a reason found or so said.
It also applies to the Home.
