She goes on the bus
I wonder if "she goes on the bus" has a similar meaning to "she is on the bus".
Thank you.

She goes by bus - is more normal meaning she travels by bus.
She is on the bus - means she is physically on the bus.
She gets on the bus is just a simple present tense and would not be said very often.
She goes on the bus is quite an unusual way to say "She goes by bus"
She goes on the bus is similar to saying she goes by bus. I don't think that it is stating that she is physically on the bus. (similar to en avión, por avión?)
(similar to en avión, por avión?)
Ella va en avión.- she goes by plane
Mira, ella va en el avión (similar to "look, she is on the plane")
Ella está en el avión.- she is on the plane
Esta caja va a ser enviada por avión.- This box is going to be sent by plane.
"Por avión" is for an object.
"En avión" is for a person.
In my neck of the woods, if you say "She goes on the bus." Then you most likely mean that she did not make it to the bathroom. If you wish to say she uses the bus as a mode of transportation, we generally say, "She takes the bus."
Does it have make any sense to say "She is in the bus"? or could it be correct in some context?
"she goes on the bus"
Su manera/método de transporte es por autobus. Normalmente para expresar cómo ella suele llegar a alguna destinación. Puede usearse en sentido mas general (sin pensar en una destinación específica) e.g. Because she doesn't have a car, she goes by bus. (Viaja a todos lados por autobus porque no tiene coche.)
She goes on the bus is a statement about what often happens.
She is on the bus is a statement about what is happening right now.
It Depends on the context.
It can either mean she travels by bus (the more common meaning), or a somewhat unusual way of describing someone getting on the bus, usually only used in a description of a series of actions.
