When the bus stops, it's in it's new form. Most of the time, when it transforms, the bus stretches and squashes, then spins around fast. It is activated by a red or gray lever on the dashboard, and also buttons on the touchscreen. The Mesmerglober controls the Bus' ability to shape-shift, changing it into various vehicles or animals at the driver's will. When someone attempts to activate the Porta-Shrinker when it is damp or wet, a dew-dinger alarm sounds. In the episode "Butterfly and the Bog Beast", it is revealed that there is a second size-manipulation device: the Porta-Shrinker, which is a pink ray gun that is mainly used for shrinking someone without shrinking the Bus. The Shrinkerscope serves mostly as an internal method of size manipulation from the Bus itself.

We can see how fuel gets to the engine in the TV episode, " Revving Up", but in another episode, " Gets Ready, Set, Dough", it is revealed that its magic comes from various devices, with the most used ones being the Shrinkerscope and the Mesmerglober, and in newer media, the Warp Drive, which controls the Bus' teleportation and warp-speed when traveling through space so that it doesn't take the students many years to travel from Mercury to Neptune or Pluto.

In the original television series and the book series, the Bus was painted fully Walkerville yellow. Its overhead sign is always blank in the TV series, but on promotional material and official artwork, it displays text like "Wahoo!"
Some new changes are one rearview mirror instead of two mirrors, a radio antenna, and a roof-hatch. Similar to the original books, it has no grille spine. The Bus's default form was tweaked a bit. Instead of showing words, the electronic sign overhead shows a picture, like in The Magic School Bus At the Waterworks. It retains everything listed above, however the only new addition is a grille spine going down the center of its grille. In this incarnation, the Bus's default form does retain some qualities from the original books. Its overhead sign shows a "message" depending on the language, such as "WAHOO" or "BLAST OFF" in English, very similar to electronic "welcome" signs. The Magic School Bus is somewhat based on a 1970s Ward International school bus with fender skirts on the rear wheels, and the front windshield being 2 different windows.
