bus hijacking
Coach criminal takeover
Bus hijacking is the forcible seizure of a bus by passengers or outsiders, typically to take hostages, make political demands, or use the vehicle for escape.
Unlike airplane hijackings, bus hijackings rarely involve crossing borders and often end in standoffs with police: The bus hijacking lasted six hours before negotiators secured the passengers' release.
