Transit bus
A transit bus (also known as a commuter bus) in the United States is usually operated by an urban-suburban bus line, a governmental public transit agency, or a contractor.

A transit bus is normally used on public transit routes. It is typically equipped for city or frequent-stop suburban service, and features usually include a farebox, multiple doors, and efficient and spartan seating, as opposed to more comfortably appointed intercity buses or "express" buses, (although all would be considered mass transit).
