A large motorized vehicle designed to carry multiple passengers; a public transportation bus.
From auto- (self-propelling) + bus (from omnibus, Latin for 'for all'). The term autobus originated in Europe, particularly French and German usage, in the early 1900s as a contrast to horse-drawn buses.
The word 'autobus' is still used in many European languages as the standard term for bus—English mostly switched to just 'bus,' but autobus reminds us these vehicles are 'automobiles' that carry 'omnibus' (everybody).
