Is the sentence right in grammar? Here 'which' refers to 'the buses' that is rather far in position.

No, it isn't right.

If you move the relative clause to a different place in the sentence, it'll be much better.

It says the crowd were full, which (a) isn't grammatical and (b) doesn't make sense.
