Yours is as good as the following:

I am going by bus.
I am riding on the bus.

hi,
I am still in doubt, please.
"my car is broken and I will be riding by bus the entire next week".
is this sentence ok?
thanks.

I found "move about" and I wonder if it's good and natural English, please.

"People who can't afford having a car move about by bus.".
"Don't wait for me if I don't arrive in time. I don't have a car and I move about by bus.".

thanks.

Not really. It would sound odd.

Hi,

I found this on the web and it conveys the exact idea I am looking for:

"Unless you're averse to air travel - or have some specific reason for wanting to move about by bus, that would be a very long (and insane) ride."

This is not good British English, correct?

Thanks.

In that context it is fine.

It does not work in the sense of travelling to work by bus.
