Yes I drew it in MSPaint and with the mouse.

The question was actually asked to a group of kids. Shockingly most of them answered correct.

So what is it? Does the bus drive towards the left or the right?

Neither. The bus doesn't drive. The driver does.

No, it's not a trick question. No other alternatives exist.

Left or right?

forward

Given the look of the left tire, it appears to be traveling to the left.

Left.

Unless it's driving backwards and to the right:p

Or unless it is just a shoddy drawing of a bus, and then I have no idea.

Yeah well. The kids said it drives to the left because you can't see the door.

EDIT: In sane countries we drive on the right...

But I wasn't sure 'cause of the different driving directions etc.

But what if the bus *is* driving backwards:\... how would you know...
