public bus
Shared urban vehicle
A public bus is a large motor vehicle operating on a fixed route, available to anyone for a fare.
Distinguished from private buses chartered for specific groups, public buses are part of municipal transit systems: I take the public bus to work every day.
The modifier "public" emphasizes accessibility to all riders rather than restricted use.
