i tried searching , what keywords did you use ?

That image shows an angle drive configuration, most modern buses are a little bit simpler (in basic design, not mechanically). Here's an image of the underside of a D40LF, transmission is mounted on the bottom behind the rear axle, a small driveshaft connect the two. Most newer buses use a similar setup.
