Bus

About
The term \Bus\" refers to a motor vehicle designed to carry a significant number of passengers, more than a car or van but fewer than rail transport. Buses are commonly used for public transport, charter services, and private ownership. The word \"bus\" is a shortened form of the Latin \"omnibus,\" meaning \"for all,\" originating from a French mass-transport service in 1823. Historically, buses have evolved from horse-drawn omnibuses in the 1820s to steam, electric trolleybuses, and internal combustion engine buses. Modern buses often feature amenities like Wi-Fi, power outlets, and comfortable seating, with a growing interest in hybrid, fuel cell, and electric propulsion."
