Hello, Ngvivian.
(1) Yes, those two words are very confusing.
(2) Here in the United States, people usually say:
ON the bus.
(a) If the bus is not moving, and you are using the bus
as a hotel, then some people say, "I am sleeping
in the
bus." But, of course, usually you will just be taking the bus
from one place to another. When I am riding a bus, I often
hear people talking on their cellphones and saying something like:
I'm
ON the bus now and I'll be at your place in 15 minutes.
(3) We also say:
ON an airplane, ship, train.
IN a car, small airplane, a small boat.
ON/IN an elevator/ a chair
(4) Just continue reading as much English as you can, and little by
little you will start understanding these words much better.
Thank you
