autobus

Municipal passenger vehicle

Autobus is a somewhat formal or old-fashioned word for a bus—a large motor vehicle carrying passengers along a fixed route.

The term survives in many European languages and occasionally appears in English for local color or when translating: We took the autobus from the station to the hotel.
