There is actually a study done on the proper size and positioning of the steering wheel for a bus- I provided the link.

Bus drivers have to sit in a more upright position so they cannot move their seat as much as you can in a regular car. So, the steering wheel must be comfortable to use for people off all shapes and sizes. Nobody wants to drive all day with a bad back or neck!
