city bus

Municipal mass transit

A city bus is a large public transit vehicle operating on fixed routes within an urban area, picking up and dropping off passengers at designated stops.

Unlike charter buses or long-distance coaches, city buses run on regular schedules and charge per-ride fares: I take the city bus to work every morning.
