Never been on or seen a bus at Canadian hubs in Toronto and Vancouver. Airliners are all boarded by jet bridge and turboprop and smaller RJs board from an area with tarmac level gates (you walk to the plane).

Here's a story about why mobile lounges came about.

Only place I've bussed in N. America was in mobile lounge at PHL.

UTH
UTH has one gate bridge and 21 daily flights.
No gate available it's walking to/from the plane in 35C but when it rains you get an umbrella.
I get lucky, landing 10x/year, hardly ever have to walk

how about only bus gates
Zagreb only has bus gates; all planes are out on the tarmac. they are building a new terminal which is supposed to open next year, but until then, the only way to get to the plane is via bus. Actually, it's not too bad. And for the A320 and B737 models, they always use both the front and rear doors, so it goes pretty quickly both getting on and getting off. And the buses drop off at either passport control (for international flights) or the transfer desk/baggage claim (for domestic flights) so arrivals are quick and easy. all in all it's a very nice airport to navigate.
