jitney
Cheap small bus
A jitney is a small bus or vehicle that carries passengers for a low fare, typically along a fixed route.
The term originated in early 20th-century America when such vehicles charged a nickel—slang for which was "jitney." The word now applies loosely to any informal shuttle or shared-ride vehicle: The casino runs a jitney from the hotel.
