 Possible solutions:

 1. deflate tires (free)
 2. take tires off (free)
 3. take wheels and tires off (free)
 4. dig a hole 3-4 inches and drive bus to it (free)
 5. move somewhere else which is 3-4 inches lower than where you live (cost
depends on location)
 6. add seat booster which is 3-4 inches higher so the bus feels lowered
(about $20 for a good one)
 7. get 4 roller skates and install where tires go (about $90 and tie shoe
laces good)

 If you need more possibilities, just let me know. Glad to be of assistance.
