bus

Public road vehicle

A bus is a large motor vehicle designed to carry many passengers along a fixed route: I take the bus to work.

School buses transport students; city buses run urban routes; tour buses carry travelers.

In computing, a bus is a system that transfers data between components.

To bus dishes is to clear them from tables in a restaurant—the busboy's job.
