Bus

A road vehicle designed to carry multiple passengers, often used for scheduled public transport. Buses range from small minibuses to large articulated vehicles.

Diesel engine: An internal-combustion engine that ignites fuel through compression rather than a spark. Many buses use diesel engines to provide sustained power for heavy loads and frequent stops.
Public transport: Passenger transport services available for shared use, typically operating on fixed routes or schedules. Scheduled buses are one of the main forms of public transport.
Omnibus: A large public carriage that carried multiple passengers along a shared route for a fare. The horse-drawn omnibus was the direct predecessor of the modern urban bus.
Bus lane: A road lane reserved primarily for buses, sometimes shared with other permitted vehicles. Bus lanes can improve service speed and reliability on congested roads.
Electric bus: A bus propelled by electric motors using energy stored in batteries or supplied externally. It replaces a conventional bus's combustion drivetrain with electric propulsion.
School bus: A bus used to transport students to and from school or school activities. It is a specialized bus service organized around students' travel needs.
Horse-drawn bus: A passenger vehicle pulled by horses and operated as a shared public service. It provided scheduled urban journeys before motor buses became practical.
Transit-oriented development: Urban development that concentrates housing, jobs, and services around high-quality public transport. Frequent bus service can support compact development beyond rail corridors.
Articulated bus: A long bus joined by a flexible joint that lets its sections turn together. The joint allows high passenger capacity without requiring two separate vehicles.
Coach (bus): A bus designed mainly for longer journeys, usually with forward-facing seats and fewer stops. Coaches prioritize intercity comfort, unlike buses commonly used for frequent local stops.
