I am assuming the distribution bus at a power substation. The electricity (it is stepped down to < 10 kV which are normal levels for the distribution lines) is distributed in multiple direction from the bus so it can provide electricity to customers (industry, residential, etc.)

The bus connect lines and transformers. The bus arrangements determine the normal flow of power through a substation. They are power sources to the substation and to loads supplied by the substation.
