Default The "bus's verb"!

Hi,
I would like to know which verb to be used when refering to the "using" of the bus. What shall I use:

1. I drive the bus to the collage. (I am not the one who drive it, but I am a traveler).
2. I use the but to go to the collage.
3. I ride the bus to the collage.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I wish if we will have a bus that we may get on someday together in a trip; that we may know each other very well.
