Comanche trained to become bus drivers (8)

I believe the answer is:

coachmen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bus drivers' is the definition.
'coachmen' can be an answer for 'drivers' (coachman is a kind of driver). I am not sure about the 'bus' bit.

'comanche trained' is the wordplay.
'trained' is an anagram indicator (to train can mean to grow something into a shape).
'comanche' with letters rearranged gives 'COACHMEN'.

'to become' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for coachmen that I've seen before include "Carriage drivers" , "riders" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
