What you get (wich I think makes them reasonably worth the $20 list
price, and makes them a bargain at half price):

7 train window frames
7 trans light blye 4x3 window glass
2 trans light blue 2x6x2 windscreens
2 trans light blue 1x1 bricks
6 minifigs with plain torsos

several other bits and pieces

Including 4 1x8 tiles in light grey, some long beams (depending on your bus
color) and a 2x12 plate in light gray, among other goodies

   I feel they're even more valuable now, with train glass
   available so openly through bulk sales.  White at least,
   probably others too, are a real reason to go for these.

   In fact, in this year's Target Extermi-ganzza, the bus was
   one of only two sets I absolutely HAD to have (the other
   being the MTT) at 50% off, and of course I got none of
   either.  (On the other hand, I'm dwowning in dwoidekas.)
   So I definitely think the bus is well worth half-price.
   I will have you, my pretty...*cackle*

I think this set is a good value (relative to other sets of this era) at
list and even better when discounted, which is why I have bought well over
100 of them (without the bonus soccer ball) already across the 4 available
colors and just got 20 more from S@H when they were on special. The bonus
balls will be part of the goodiebags for Niks next Bday party although I'm
not sure they are worth 2 dollars in and of themselves.

   Who knows?  Some of them might have just wanted the ball
   anyways.  Scary as it seems, some people *do* value sports
   gear more highly than the far superior ABS brick...

   (Don't think about it for too long.  Please.)

   best
