The disclosure relates to a method for serially transmitting a frame from a transmitter to at least one receiver via a bus line, as well as a subscriber station for a bus system. According to said method, stuff bits for generating additional signal edges are inserted into the frame by the transmitter according to a predetermined rule, and the stuff bits are removed again by the receiver when evaluating a received frame, a CRC calculation logic of a CRC generator calculating a CRC checksum that is comprised by said frame, and a value of “1” being inserted into said CRC calculation logic in an additional evaluation step if a value of “0 . . . 0” has been determined for the CRC checksum in the running calculation executed by the CRC calculation logic.
