city buses

Urban mass transit

City buses are public transit vehicles that transport passengers along fixed routes within urban areas.

They stop at designated points to pick up and drop off riders, typically for a fare.

The term distinguishes municipal transit from intercity coaches or school buses: I take city buses to work because parking downtown is impossible.
