They remain one way to wreck a bus (5)
I believe the answer is:
stubs
'they remain one' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'way to wreck a bus' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for street).
'to wreck' indicates an anagram.
'bus' is an anagram of 'ubs'.
'st'+'ubs'='STUBS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stubs that I've seen before include "Butts" , "residual pieces" .)
