A school bus.
Explanation: the bus has the largest mass, so it has the most inertia and requires the greatest force to change its motion (Newton’s 2nd law, F = ma). Also, to overcome static friction you need a force roughly proportional to the object’s weight (µs·mg), so the heavier bus needs the largest force.
