Public road vehicles

Buses is the plural of bus, a large vehicle for public transportation carrying multiple passengers along a set route: The buses run every fifteen minutes.

In computing, buses are pathways that transfer data between components: The motherboard has several buses connecting the CPU to memory.

The verb form works the same way: She buses tables at a restaurant downtown.
