I like buses, too.
My father works planning bus lines!
Ahh, my ideal job!!
Maybe you could give it a try. My dad is a transport engineer. He uses research data from trips in the city to feed a model that chooses the best trajectory for a bus line according to some parameters that are maximized (or minimized) (shorter travel time. minimum cost etc...).
. Don´t know if you are interested in that though.Yeah, that's one of the most interesting things I find with buses. How would I get into that?

I Love Lucy. 
I must note, though, that there's a difference between my #1 special interest and my current primary obsession (the one I currently think about/talk about/give monologues on). I Love Lucy always will be the special interest that I would pick over everything else. It's the only SI I've ever had that is both topical and collective in nature. I not only have an encyclopedic knowledge of the show and its trivia, I also am an avid collector of memorabilia. I discovered Lucy in '99, and it was my primary obsession from 2000 to the beginning of 2002. However, my current primary obsession is the YouTube series "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?" Only people who know me REALLY well and/or have known me a long time know about my Lucy SI, because I don't ramble on and on about Lucy anymore, unless it's brought up in conversation.
My top 5 episodes:
1. "Job Switching", #39 
2. "Ricky Loses His Voice", #49 
3. "Lucy Hires an English Tutor", #53 
4. "Ricky Asks for a Raise", #35 
5. "Lucy's Night in Town", #174

You´re asking questions that I don´t know how to answer. I don´t work with that, if fact I didn´t even get my degree in economics. According to what I read transport engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineering ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_engineer ). My dad is a civil engineer. I guess that you will have to search for engineering courses that specialize in that but I´m not sure... Dad and mom also talk about other fields like "transport planning" and "urban planning" but I don´t know what they mean. Dad worked with subways before working with busses, he works as a consultant now. If you are interested he and his colleges helped planning this ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmilenio ) at Colombia. I could ask him a few questions when he arrives home from abroad but right now I´m not talking to him 
. Sorry.
It is a good think that you´re seeking your interests. Hope that I could be of any help. Good luck with that.
