Actually your attempted xpath syntax is incorrect. You should try as below :

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Search Buses')]")).click();

or

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[text()='Search Buses']")).click();

You can find it using By.id() as well which would be much faster than xpath as :

driver.findElement(By.id("search_btn")).click();
