I often want to ask questions regarding bus routes in Russia, but never know how to say it properly. It seems that people say "Пятнадцатый автобус ИДЁТ куда-то?" when asking where a bus goes in general. Is this right? I would expect "Пятнадцатый автобус ХОДИТ куда-то?" since we're speaking generally and not about a specific bus going to a specific place right now, but then again if it were strictly logical I would expect ездить / ехать  and not идти / ходить. Can someone explain this a bit?

Also what about these phrases: 

"Did the Xth bus already come?" 
"Do you know if Xth bus comes here?"
"Will the Xth bus come soon?"

Thanks

Fun

Hello! I saw in a recent post the use of забавно and have been wondering for a long time:
how do you express "to have fun" and truly mean it (not sarcastically)? Is there a verb that means "to have fun?" Does it depend on the situation? Is there a noun that generally means "fun?"

For some context, how would you translate the following sentences?
1. We had a lot of fun at the zoo.
2. It's fun to go boating. (I'd just like to know the structure for "it's fun to ______" )
3. Did you guys have fun? (not sarcastic - asking seriously)
4. You'll have fun!

If you've already discussed this extensively, please simply tell me when and I can look it up in the archive. Thanks!
