If it is one of those long distance buses, like Greyhound, and you were loading the luggage, then you would be the last one on. But if it the local transit system, then it could be any of the passengers.
 
How about two riddles just to make things interesting?

#1 - Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

#2 - Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I'm double, I'm single,
I'm black, blue, and gray,
I'm read from both ends,
And the same either way.
What am I?

The third word is hungry (Because angry is word 1, and is word 2, and hungry is word 3)

#2 - Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I'm double, I'm single,
I'm black, blue, and gray,
I'm read from both ends,
And the same either way.

Well I'm guessing its some sort of palindrome because its read from both ends and is the same, but besides that I haven't the foggiest idea :)
 
Yup, Dynamo got both right. (Was kinda expecting that, though, lol.)

Four jolly men sat down to play;
And played all night till break of day;
They played for money and not for fun,
With separate scores for every one.
Yet when they came to square accounts,
They all had made quite fair amounts!
Can you the paradox explain?
If no one lost, how could all gain?
 
I didn't say they bet anything. Read it again, and think it over. :D

Edited to add: I looked up the riddle, because since saraholic wasn't getting it I felt sure I had typed something wrongly. I hadn't, just used a few words differently, but anyway...I retyped the correct riddle, so now you should be able to get it. My apologies to saraholic. ;)
 
Ohhhh... alright since the answer that saraholic was incorrect, I'm going to say that...

The four men were part of some sort of band/orchestra and were all playing instruments and therefore were all paid for their efforts.

Is this right?

(If it is, then I give my turn to whoever wants it)
 
Yes! The four men were a quartet (not sure if that's the right word) of musicians who were paid their wages for performing.

#1 Whilst I was engaged in sitting,
I spied the dead carrying the living.

Blue above and blue below,
So it went o' carrying.

What was it I saw?

#2 Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.
