City of God is about street children, the violence and horror of their lives, and the causes of the violence and horror. Bus 174 is about a bus hijacking by someone who was a street child, and it looks deeply into the societal breakdowns that result in this kind of violent response to hopelessness.
They're actually the same story in many ways, just told very differently.
