Why is it в город and not в городе? This word doesn't change with the case?
- Direction: в + accusative (same ending as in nominative for the 2nd declension )
- Location: в + prepositional case.
It's a general word like English "go". Время (time) идёт, поезд (train) идёт, кровь (blood) идёт, дождь (rain) идёт. There are a few meanings, one of them is a continuous steady action (something swift, fast is often "бежит": время, кровь).
Here "this bus" means more about a particular route, you can say "автобус едет" and it's more about a particular car, I think.
I think I get far too much enjoyment out of the false translations you can choose. "The bus is going to the apple."

"В го́род" = "towards the city", "to the city"
"В го́роде" = "in the city", "inside of the city"
P.S. "На" is not used with cities, it requires "в".
I think that would only be in the bus was already in the city. For going to somewhere you use accusative case
When is it we use ехать and when is it we use идти? As far as i know i would use ехать for this sentence

Public transport is used with both "идти" and "ехать". Exception for planes (it is used with "летать") and boats (it used with "плавать").
So, you can use "ехать" here as well.
