Because of the first Dirty Harry movie. After that numbers got painted onto the tops of school buses to aid police in helicopters in the event this might ever happen.
"The climax of the film, where Scorpio hijacks a schoolbus, was based on one of the Zodiac Killer's threatening messages. "

um.. I think that the numbers on the roof of the busses represent the route that the buss driver will take. or if u r talking about the other numbers i think that it means the buss number you are taking and that buss will be taking it's specific route.
