Two metric units that can measure the length of a bus are meters and centimeters.
The length of a single bus is best measured in metres.
Simple answer: Distance can be stated in meters. A unit of measure to indicate length. Area or volume can be expressed in terms of square meters or cubic meters. In all countries except for two, the US and UK, the metric system is used to measure distances. The units used for travel are kilometers, for objects less than a kilometer it is common to use meters, for objects smaller then a meter centimeters and millimeters are used. For really tiny things, like bacteria, metric units called microns are used. These are one-millionth of a meter long. In the US and UK only scientists use the metric system. Most people use the Imperial system. The distance units (leagues, miles, furlongs, chains, yards, feet, inches) in the Imperial system are defined in metric units. So an inch is 25.4000000000 millimeters — exactly. A foot is 12 times that, a yard 36 times, a chain 792 times and so on.
A tape measure or sonar technology can be used to measure the length of a giant squid. These tools can provide accurate measurements of the length of the squid's body from tip to tip of its tentacles.
The average length of a bus is around 45 ft.
The most appropriate unit for measuring the length of a bus would be meters (m). This unit is commonly used for larger objects like vehicles. Kilometers (km) are typically used for longer distances. The other units, centimeters (cm) and millimeters (mm), are more suitable for smaller measurements.
