The painting features the figure of the driver, as driving an empty bus, within a landscape that is not distinct, but reminiscent of a desert landscape, depicted in intense colors. The absence of other passengers, the relaxed form of the vehicle, and the hands gripping the steering wheel create a tension between movement and uncertainty, with the underlying question being—where are we going?
