Etymology
The word 'bus' originated from the Latin word 'omnibus', which means 'for all'. It was first used in the 1820s to describe a horse-drawn wagon that transported people. The term evolved to refer to motor vehicles used for public transportation in the 20th century. Buses have become an essential mode of transportation in urban areas around the world.
