Morphology
The meaning 'a regular path a passenger bus follows' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'bus' (a vehicle for passengers) and 'route' (a designated path). This simple noun–noun compound follows common compositional patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Bus route gives a simple picture: a bus travels the same route or road every day, like a line on a map. That's why it means the regular path a bus 'follows' between places.
