Bus

A bus (contracted from omnibus, with variants, multibus, motorbus,  autobus, etc.) Is a road vehicle designed to carry many passengers. Buses can have a capacity as high as 300 passengers.  The most common type is the single-deck rigid bus, with larger loads carried by double-decker and articulated buses, and smaller loads carried by midibuses and minibuses while coaches are used for longer-distance services. Many types of buses, such as city transit buses and inter-city coaches, charge a fare. Other types, such as elementary or secondary school buses or shuttle buses within a post-secondary education campus, do not charge a fare. In many jurisdictions, bus drivers require a special licence above and beyond a regular driver’s licence.
