Public Road Transit Modes

Road-based public transport, from ordinary buses and trolleybuses to bus rapid transit. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the mode a bus, trolleybus, bus rapid transit or public transport. It excludes private road transport. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members. It is one of the groups under the Road Mode subcategory of the Transport atlas, which has its own browse page listing every group and member.
