Nothing wrong in 'bussed' in my usage, meaning carried in a bus. "The
evacuees were bussed to the nearest shelter".  'Bused' (beewzed) sounds
like abused.

If you acknowledge that 'fused' (electrical plug) is different to
'fussed' (bothered) then 'fused' cannot be an alternative spelling.
Neither is 'bused', wiktionary of no wiktionary.
