What is a Motorbus?

A motorbus, also known as a coach or a bus, is a vehicle designed to carry passengers on a fixed route, often between cities or towns. It is powered by an engine and typically has a long body with rows of seats for the passengers. Motorbuses are commonly used for public transportation, such as city buses, intercity buses, and touring coaches. They can also be used for private transportation, such as charter buses or shuttle buses.

The term "motorbus" is derived from the combination of "motor," meaning an engine or motorized vehicle, and "bus," which refers to a vehicle designed for carrying passengers. The term was first used in the early 20th century to describe the new generation of buses that were powered by internal combustion engines instead of horses or steam engines. Today, the term "motorbus" is still used in some contexts, but it has largely been replaced by the more common terms "bus" and "coach."
