A transit bus (also commuter bus, city bus, stage bus, public bus or simply bus) is a type of bus used on shorter-distance public transport bus services which include low-floor buses, double-decker buses, articulated buses and midibuses. These are distinct from all-seated coaches used for longer distance journeys and smaller minibuses, which are typically used for paratransit (demand-responsive) services. ==Specifications== Generally, a transit bus will have: *large and sometimes multiple doors for ease of boarding and exiting *minimal or no luggage space *bench or bucket seats, with no coachlike head-rests *destination blinds / displays such as headsigns or rollsigns or electronic dot matrix/LED signs *legal standing-passenger capacity *fare taking/verification equipment *pull cord or bus stop request button Modern transit buses are also increasingly being equipped with passenger information systems, multimedia entertainment/advertising, and passenger comforts such as heating and air-conditioning (as opposed to historically where actually necessary). Some industry members and commentators promote the idea of making the interior of a transit bus as inviting as a private car, recognising the chief competitor to the transit bus in most markets. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Transit bus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
