Communbus

/ˈkɒmənbəs/ noun

Definition

A bus or shuttle service designed to serve a community or commune.

Etymology

A blend of 'commune' or 'community' with 'bus' (from omnibus, Latin for 'for all'). This is a modern compound word reflecting 20th-century transportation needs.

Kelly Says

This word is rarely used formally, but it's a perfect example of how language naturally creates blends when existing words don't fit new situations—we see the same impulse with 'brunch' and 'staycation.'
