bus buddy

Commute travel partner

A bus buddy is a person you regularly sit with or talk to on the bus, typically a school bus.

The relationship exists mainly within that context—you might not be close friends otherwise, but you're companions for the commute: My bus buddy saved me a seat in the back.
