commuter buses

Workplace transit fleet

Commuter buses are buses that transport passengers between suburban or outlying areas and urban centers, typically on regular schedules aligned with work hours.

They serve riders who travel the same route daily, often with fewer stops than local transit: She takes the commuter bus from the suburbs into downtown.

The term distinguishes these longer-haul services from city buses running shorter urban routes.
