Commuting on a Bus	comment	A character who at one point was a major character on a show is, instead of being written out entirely, put in a situation where they will appear sporadically as a Recurring Character. This could be because the arc that featured that character has come to an end or, much more likely, the actor is getting ready to leave and this is an excuse to phone in another season. Often accomplished by the character getting a promotion, moving farther away, put into a coma, etc. Compare The Bus Came Back, where the downgraded character only returns once or returns to stay. Compare also with Out of Focus. Opposite of Fake Guest Star, as the actor often has their billing copy-pasted from a previous season's credits. If the commute is frequently discussed, you can expect a Back for the Finale as well.

His screen time, however, was greatly reduced and he wasn't present in several episodes because the writers struggled to find things for him to do.

Commuting on a Bus / int_2212773a	comment	Cordelia spent a good portion of her last season of Angel in a coma despite nominally being in the opening cast. In fact, the Cordelia we had been seeing for most of the fourth season wasn't exactly Cordelia, strictly speaking, but was her being controlled by a God-like entity. Furthermore, she spends several episodes of Season 3 on vacation with Groo, and so does not appear then either. She later came Back for the Dead in the 100th Episode, but was later revealed to be Dead All Along.

Commuting on a Bus / int_2275c659	comment	On House, Doctors Cameron and Chase were fired from the title character's team at the end of Season 3. In Season 4 they were shown to have taken new jobs at the hospital, while House recruited a new team. Season 6 has a lot of bus jumps. Following on from above, Cameron found a long-distance bus to jump onto, while Chase has jumped off the commuting bus and back into the cast. Happens again with Thirteen in Season 7: she was billed as main cast, but only appeared in a handful of episodes at the beginning and end of the season, with the claim that she was taking an extended break from work. Though it later turned out she was, in fact, in prison for six months after helping her brother commit assisted suicide. Her absence was due to Olivia Wilde's film career suddenly taking off and her needing a leave of absence to film TRON: Legacy and Cowboys & Aliens. She's Put on a Bus more securely for Season 8, and becomes a Special Guest Star for her three or four appearances in that season.

Commuting on a Bus / int_38974f2	comment	The King of Fighters pushes the protagonist of the previous arc into this role for the following arc. Kyo's importance to the plot during the Orochi saga was downgraded to make room for K' in the NESTS saga and then K' himself moved down to make way for Ash Crimson in the Tales of Ash arc. After being demoted the character continues to add to the story (Kyo was used as a base for a series of clones in the NESTS arc and K' got to fight Mukai in 2003) but it's the current main character who gets the spotlight and wraps up the saga. This was initially subverted with the end of the Tales of Ash arc in XIII when Ash removed himself from time at the end of the game, but he was later brought back at the end of Team Official Invitation's Story Mode in XIV and became playable again in XV (with both games belonging to a Story Arc focusing on new hero Shun'ei).

Commuting on a Bus / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: Bulma was the co-lead in the original Dragon Ball, then got shoved Out of Focus with the rest of the human cast and never really had the same level of importance. Downplayed from the Namek to Cell Sagas in Dragon Ball Z where she has a bigger part. She also plays a prominent role once Beerus and Whis show up in Dragon Ball Super, functioning as their main supplier of delicious food and reason for not blowing up Earth. It works. In the anime, after Captain Ginyu (the leader of the notorious Ginyu Force!) switches bodies with a frog, he shows up at least once per season until the end of the Buu saga (in the manga, he's simply Put on a Bus, not appearing again after the switch). Then he appears in Super, but he dies.

Commuting on a Bus / int_3ca84d57	comment	In the Tantei Team KZ Jiken Note series, Sunahara is closest to being Aya's official boyfriend, having mutually confessed to the point that he made a serious marriage proposal in the 20th novel. But he only appears once every few novels (stably once every 3-4 novels since the 12th novel), and leaves at the end of it. This is probably to enforce their Long-Distance Relationship so as to perpetuate what can be seen by older readers as a Reverse Harem.

Elliot also left the main cast between season 8 and 9, making only sporadic guest appearances in season 9. Subverted with Kelso. Even though he left the Sacred Heart hospital during season 7, he still continues to appear in almost every episode for all remaining seasons. Ted even points out how strange it is that he continues to come to the hospital every day despite being retired, guessing that Kelso has nothing else in life to do. Which is true and Kelso is using his "free muffins for life" as an excuse to hang around and later admits that he genuinely likes being at Sacred Heart and doesn't care if people think less about him.

Commuting on a Bus / int_44127c7c	comment	Power Rangers This started happening to Kimberly in season three of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. She had her powers drained halfway through after being captured by Kat Hillard. Since Amy Jo Johnson actually told Saban she was going to quit beforehand, instead of clumsy camera tricks and an abrupt Suspiciously Similar Substitute, half the season was spent slowly easing her character out of the Pink Ranger position and setting up her successor. After Skull was Put on a Bus in Lost Galaxy, the writers apparently had trouble coming up with material for Bulk on his own. He only appears in a few episodes despite being in the opening credits. This happened with Ryan in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue. Due to the fact that he was created exclusively for the American version and didn't have a Sentai counterpart it was starting to become too costly to shoot new footage with him in Ranger form every episode, so to keep costs down he took off in the second half of the season to find a way to defeat the antagonists and only appeared in a handful of the remaining episodes. This was the fate of Omega Ranger Sam from Power Rangers S.P.D.. In a bid to save money, Sam was not given an out of suit actor, which made it difficult for him to properly interact with the other characters since he could only do so while in costume or as a CGI ball of light. So the writers wrote around him as best they could, having him turn up whenever the Sentai stock footage called for him and then having him fade into the background as soon as he wasn't needed.

Several former main cast members will be downgraded to guest, but still have heavy recurring roles, including Nina Meyers, Sherri Palmer, Tony Almeida, Michelle Dessler, James Heller, Curtis Manning, Charles Logan, Audrey Raines, and Ethan Kanin. On some cases a character will be credited as a regular but only make some recurring appearances (Sherri in Season 2, Tony in Season 5 and Curtis in Season 6), which often led to them being written out shortly after.

Commuting on a Bus / int_4eaeb513	comment	Very prevalent in the weird final season of Welcome Back, Kotter. Mr. Kotter only makes fleeting appearances, due to actor Gabe Kaplan not being very happy with the show. No one acted as though it were at all unusual that Mr. Kotter hardly seemed to be around any more. In fact, Gabe Kaplan still got top billing. At least Barbarino, who was also absent that season because John Travolta was doing movies, was explained away as having dropped out of school. To preserve some semblance of familiarity, the previously stay-at-home Mrs. Kotter became the Sweathogs' new adult supervisor in her role as the school secretary, or something.

Commuting on a Bus / int_50bcf7a6	comment	Homestuck: Vriska and Tavros became this since they died. They still show up occasionally, but much, much less than they used to, particularly in the case of Vriska, who was something of a Spotlight-Stealing Squad for a while. Also, the exiles had a fairly big role early in the comic, but slowly drifted further and further Out of Focus until WV and PM probably fill this trope now. Also, Gamzee appeared less often after being calmed down by Karkat. He's begun appearing more after the beginning of Act 6 Act 3, when he suddenly showed up on Jane's planet. Since then he's been popping up in all sorts of weird places. Another example is Aradia. She is most relevant during the beginning of the troll's SGRUB session, but after she uses powers to freeze Jack in time, her appearances are sporadic. John Egbert. He started off as the main viewpoint character of the comic, but his plot significance has diminished to the point where he's now at the periphery of the action. John's former Lancer Dave and Foil Karkat have basically supplanted him as the male leads.

In general it seems he was pretty much limited to showing up during the build to WrestleMania, where he would put his then-undefeated Streak at that event on the line against some other big-name talent, with some other sporadic appearances throughout the years. Given how popular he is, and the fact that his then-recent matches at Wrestlemania had been generally considered the best matches of the show, fans tended not to have a problem with this.

Commuting on a Bus / int_5b15000	comment	Chris Jericho, since the end of his second WWE run, only appeared in yearly six-month runs, due to focusing more on his band Fozzy and other ventures. Much in the vein of the Undertaker, Chris doesn't get as much flak as other part-timers such as, say, Brock Lesnar, because when he does come back, he goes all out. He does house shows, appears on RAW every week, and puts over younger talent. He hasn't even held a world title since 2010, as he is much happier to give the younger talent the spot. In the breaks between WWE runs, he toured with his band Fozzy and worked in NJPW before ultimately leaving WWE for AEW in 2019.

The actor playing him, Chris Barrie, had decided to leave the show and had a very limited schedule, so he agreed to appear in a handful of episodes (and sequences that could be filmed out of order, such as ADR or flashbacks). In the eighth series (which had been delayed due to Craig Charles being charged with and then found not guilty of rape) he decided to return necessitating them to create a new Rimmer.

Gregson's role in the story is of similar importance to the others, and he went on to be the model for important characters in works inspired by the Holmes mythos such as Elementary and The Great Ace Attorney, with Holmes himself describing him as "the smartest of the Scotland Yarders". Even so, he would be the only one of the novel's main cast to not become a major recurring character in the canon, only being featured in three other short stories, one of which didn't even involve him appearing in a proper scene or having lines.

Throughout the second season of the show, the former went from a regular villainous threat, to Fire-Forged Friend, and eventually an official member of the team after insulting one of her home planet's rulers to their face. The latter was the show's first major villain, who became Steven's friend (and only Steven's friend) as a result of his empathy, making occasional appearances as an Aloof Ally trying to keep herself and Steven safe. At beginning of the third season, following the events of the Cluster arc, Peridot and Lapis take residence in the countryside at the Universe family barn. This leaves them out of many episodes, but still close enough for the other characters to visit and interact with.

Degrassi, of course, is the name of the school. With the exception of Snake, none of the original characters remain on the show. Give them credit for avoiding the California University route, although they did send about half of the characters to the same university (the fictional Banting). More specifically, this tends to happen with characters who go away to college. They frequently end up coming back to deal with love interests or unresolved situations. As of season 14, however, the only graduated character still appearing is Eli.

Commuting on a Bus / int_81202666	comment	Chainsaw Man presents a complicated case to say the least. Once Pochita became Denjiâ€™s heart, his core as Chainsaw Man, his character was relegated to only passing memories of Denji for much of Part 1 to the point Denji presumed his little friend may have died to give him a new chance at life, however, it turned out Pochita was alive all along inside Denji, keeping the side of his contract up and running: to just observe Denji striving for his dreams all the while protecting Denji of his deepest trauma. Once that very trauma came to light, Denji went down a spiraling depressive state, giving up on living altogether, which broke Pochitaâ€™s contract, giving the little devil his body back, marking the return of Pochita as a character, but only for a while as Pochita wanted nothing but for Denji to keep living and he to remain an observer. Part 1 ended with Denji and Pochita succeeding at returning to their preferred status: Denji in control and Pochita just observing what Denji does from the inside, that also conveniently keeps many of the seriesâ€™s secrets and larger lore hidden, waiting for proper reveals, as Pochita is not directly used to expose many of the things he knows about the world of Chainsaw Man; Part 2 keeps Pochita strictly a non-entity all the same, he really wants nothing but to see what Denji does with their shared body if nothing is getting in the way of their contract.

She appeared in 6, and one of these appearances was literally a five-second cameo. She was dropped from the cast beginning with Season 3. Almost all of the graduates in the fourth, fifth and sixth season. In season 4, Puck, Mike, Quinn, and Mercedes all come back occasionally to visit. In season 5, more characters graduate, adding Tina and Brittany to the mix of commuters, and Mercedes becomes a regular character again. By season 6, Puck, Quinn, Tina, Santana, Brittany, Artie, Emma, and Unique are all commuting regularly and the main cast is much smaller than before. It makes sense in universe since the characters are all over the country at college and still visit their home town sometimes.

Interestingly, this was at Sam Waterston's request—when Fred Dalton Thompson left, Waterston campaigned pretty hard for McCoy to get the promotion. Since the DA doesn't personally prosecute cases, this naturally meant a massive reduction in screen time. This eventually got downplayed in the last 2-3 seasons as the show realised that McCoy and Captain Van Buren made a good team and it was pretty easy to come up with episodes where the two had to deal with something that's above the main team's paygrade.

Commuting on a Bus / int_a61ca024	comment	This happened with Ryan in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue. Due to the fact that he was created exclusively for the American version and didn't have a Sentai counterpart it was starting to become too costly to shoot new footage with him in Ranger form every episode, so to keep costs down he took off in the second half of the season to find a way to defeat the antagonists and only appeared in a handful of the remaining episodes.

Commuting on a Bus / int_b3309b69	comment	The Puyo Puyo series has had three main protagonists so far — Arle Nadja, Amitie, and Ringo Andou. Each time a new protagonist was introduced, the previous one engaged in this trope, losing prominence but still appearing in every game. Sega's reluctance to remove any of the large cast from the "core cast" has been a major factor in this — Witch and Draco Centauros appear and are playable in Puyo Puyo Tetris entirely because they're still part of this group, but have zero actual plot relevance.

This trend began after the much-reviled Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), after which Sega shifted from its large cast approach to having Sonic as the only playable character, with Tails as support and Dr. Eggman as the primary antagonist. The supporting cast eventually returned as NPCs in Sonic Generations and Sonic Forces. Sonic Boom had a few series staples, it was still scaled back compared to the two Sonic Adventure games.

Commuting on a Bus / int_bb1b8e8c	comment	Pike on Critical Role. Her player, Ashley Johnson, is more of a mainstream celebrity than the other gamers and is often in New York filming Blindspot, so the character is often separate from the group, staying behind at local temples while the rest of the team goes off on their quests. When Ashley has time to make an appearance, either via Skype or in person, the crew either go to Pike's location to pick her up or she comes in via Astral Projection. In the second season of the show, Ashley's new character Yasha is given the character trait of occasionally leaving the party without warning in the dead of night, only to randomly turn up later wherever they happen to be, adding an air of mystery to the character while still working with Ashley's schedule.

In a bid to save money, Sam was not given an out of suit actor, which made it difficult for him to properly interact with the other characters since he could only do so while in costume or as a CGI ball of light. So the writers wrote around him as best they could, having him turn up whenever the Sentai stock footage called for him and then having him fade into the background as soon as he wasn't needed.

In fact, the Cordelia we had been seeing for most of the fourth season wasn't exactly Cordelia, strictly speaking, but was her being controlled by a God-like entity. Furthermore, she spends several episodes of Season 3 on vacation with Groo, and so does not appear then either. She later came Back for the Dead in the 100th Episode, but was later revealed to be Dead All Along. Speaking of Angel, his last season on Buffy the Vampire Slayer had very reduced screen time (though being in hell is quite a commute.) This also happened to Giles in the last two seasons of Buffy.
