express buses

Nonstop city coaches

Express buses are public transit vehicles that travel faster routes than local buses, typically by skipping intermediate stops or using highways.

The term emphasizes speed and directness: The express bus gets me downtown in half the time.

Most transit systems distinguish express from local service, with express buses often serving commuters traveling longer distances.
