bus services

Scheduled route vehicles

Bus services are the scheduled routes and operations that transport passengers by bus.

The term covers public transit systems, school transportation, and private coach lines.

Cities expand or cut bus services based on ridership and funding: The new bus services connect the suburbs to downtown.

Service quality varies widely—from frequent urban routes to once-daily rural runs.
