Well, like, reading data from memory ? Or even trying to execute
a PROGRAM ? ;-)

Calss. CLASS ! Could I have your attention, please ?

The "bus" (as in "Bus Error") is the internal bus, which connects
the CPU, the ROMs, the RAMs and other various circuits. This bus
is connected to the NuBus and the SCSI bus, which may or may not
generate "bus error"s upon faulty use.

The main reason for bus errors are when the CPU's trying to read
from an address, but there's nothing there. (Like, as in a dangling
pointer :-)
