I think instead of doing that, you should use nested serializers.

Create a BusSerializer having fields idn and stops_left. Then include this serializer in your StopOncomingSerializer as buses field with many=True argument to handle multiple buses data.

    idn = serializers.IntegerField(read_only=True)

class StopOncomingSerialier(serializers.Serializer):
    idn = serializers.IntegerField(read_only=True)
    buses = BusSerializer(many=True)
