catching the bus
Boarding public transit
Catching the bus means arriving at a stop in time to board public transit before it departs: I have to leave now if I'm going to catch the bus.
The phrase implies the small urgency of matching your timing to a fixed schedule.
More darkly, catching the bus is sometimes euphemism for suicide, particularly in online communities discussing mental health.
