I see it in American TV comedy's that someone says "They rode the short bus to school " to mean that somebody is a bit retarded , but can anyone explain to me what a "short bus" is ?

It looks like a normal school bus (which has like 40+ seats) but its much shorter, to accommodate fewer people riding and usually equipped with wheelchair accessories.
Not as many kids to transport, shorter bus. From what I've seen I think that there are typically one or two special needs kids in each elementary school, so they get transported to a central location for the day.
