Actually, bus dimensions are marked on buses in millimetres (in the UK, and probably Europe, at least) - for some reason the building trade uses plans to millimetres but then uses pencils (especially as they wear down in use) and saws of greater than 1 mm width to mark and cut.
Metres are used to measure a bus instead of centimetres as a bus is a large object and using centimetres would result in large numbers - it's a matter of a sensible unit.
