Line 122:
* Hard-drinking amateur detective Gideon Fell is married to a rabid teetotaler. Once the first novel was finished, John Dickson Carr didn't so much put Mrs Fell on a bus as he renovated the bus into a nice RV for her and sent her off for most of the series.
* The cast from the series [[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]] got put on a bus in the sequel, ''[[The Heroes of Olympus]]''.
* In [[Star Trek: theThe Battle of Betazed]], Lwaxana Troi features heavily. However, Mr. Homn (her valet), is strangely absent, and indeed isn't even mentioned. This despite usually appearing whenever and wherever she does (or being specifically mentioned as travelling elsewhere if not). A later novel went and transformed this into a [[Bus Crash]]; [[Star Trek: aA Time Toto...]] revealed that he died during the initial invasion, so explaining his absence. The death is eventually shown in a short story, part of the ''Tales of the Dominion War'' anthology.
* Happens in the sixth ''[[Septimus Heap]]'' book, where {{spoiler|Snorri's mother comes to take her home}}.
** Even the second book put Simon and Merrin on a bus, for them to return in the fourth.
