The number of people that can fit in a bus, or a group of people traveling together in one bus.
A compound word combining 'bus' (short for omnibus, from Latin meaning 'for all') and 'load' (from Old English 'hlad'). Developed in the early 20th century with the rise of bus travel.
A busload is roughly 50 people, but this word is genuinely flexible—we say 'busloads of tourists' without ever actually counting, which shows how English uses measurements loosely for 'a lot of something!'
