What Does This Mean?
Korean online-gaming slang for the player who "drives the bus": a higher-level or more skilled player who takes weaker teammates along and carries them through content or to a win. 버스 itself is documented as a high-level gamer helping lower-level gamers progress in MMORPGs, and as another name for 쩔; the driver is the helper at the wheel.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"고인물 형이 버스기사 해 줘서 초보 파티가 던전을 한 번에 깼다."
LORE & ORIGIN
From the bus metaphor behind 버스. Namuwiki's 쩔 entry says 쩔 is also called 버스 and explains the name through the image of a bus driver carrying passengers; Money Today (2015-06-05) defines 버스 in MMORPGs as a higher-level gamer helping a lower-level gamer advance. Namuwiki's 캐리 entry defines carrying as leading the team to victory and notes it started in AOS games. The compound 버스기사 as a label for the carrier does not appear on those pages, so it is recorded as a derived form.
