bus
A bus is a land vehicle designed to transport passengers. They are heavily used in public transport for scheduled routes, but can also be used in tourism, school transport or for political campaigns. Depending on its size, a bus can hold up to 300 passengers.
While the most widespread type is the single-decker rigid bus, variations include double-deckers and articulated buses, but also midibuses and minibuses, which can carry a little over a dozen people. When used for public transportation or private ventures, bus coordination is the object of fleet management systems.
Historically, the very first buses were horse-drawn and were used briefly at the beginning of the nineteenth century, before being replaced by the more powerful electric trolleybuses in second half of the nineteenth century.
You'll find bloggers talking about busses at sites like nps.gov.
