Etymology
The term 'bus' is derived from the Latin word 'omnibus', meaning 'for all'. In the early 19th century, the word 'bus' was first used to refer to a horse-drawn vehicle designed to carry multiple passengers, essentially making transportation accessible for the general public. By the mid-1900s, motorized vehicles replaced these horse-drawn carriages, and bus transportation grew more sophisticated, adopting schedules and routes similar to today's systems. The verb 'to bus' emerged from this evolution, specifically in the context of transporting passengers, and it reflects the broader cultural shift towards organized, affordable public transit options.
