Los autobuses son fáciles de aprovisionar y de limpiar
I think in this context "to serve" means to provide the buses with the supplies they need to run, such as fuel, luboils, maybe paper for the ticketing machines and so on. "To maintain", of, course, has a different meaning (repairs, preventive maninenance and so on.)
