metro bus

Urban public vehicle

A metro bus is a public transit bus operating within a metropolitan area, typically run by a regional transportation authority.

The term distinguishes city buses from intercity or long-distance coach services.

I take the metro bus to work every day.

Often shortened to just "metro" in casual speech: The metro runs every fifteen minutes.
