transit buses

Public route vehicles

Transit buses are large vehicles designed to carry passengers along fixed routes in urban and suburban areas, forming the backbone of public transportation systems in most cities.

They typically stop at designated locations on a regular schedule, distinguishing them from charter buses or school buses that serve specific groups.

The transit buses run every fifteen minutes during rush hour.

Most transit buses are operated by municipal agencies or regional authorities and require passengers to pay a fare.
