Inspired by a recent question about jardineras (¿Por qué los autobuses de los aeropuertos se llaman "jardineras"?):

Let's have a parade of buses from different regions. Add your favorite words for rail-less public transportation -- images welcome! (But let's try to use small images.)

    I cannot agree with the edits that rollbacked my suggestions (https://spanish.stackexchange.com/posts/32723/revisions). Questions are questions, not an introduction to the answers. Most of the wording here is meta stuff that does not add any value to future readers. We have to think in the readers of the question, not in the editors: the call to edit or improve is implicit by having a wiki answer – fedorqui Jan 15 '20 at 15:00
  • @fedorqui - I don't mind if you want to restore your title. I wanted to have some fun. (Such sad things happening with SE.) But I can still have some fun with this question even if you take the fun out of the title. And you have more experience with SE than I do. – aparente001 Jan 16 '20 at 04:18
  • I'm not going to rollback a rollback, I mentioned the case here to prevent such wars and express what I think is best for the question – fedorqui Jan 22 '20 at 12:51

  • Flota, bus grande interurbano, para más de 30 personas, donde los posibles asientos de lujo son "leito" por contaminación lingüistica brasilera (algo justificado, ya que brasil tiene las fábricas de buses sudamericanos).

  • Bus es el nombre en general para los vehiculos desde "la liebre", o "la micro", que puede variar entre un Mitsubishi Rosa o la micro rural clásica Mercedes y usualmente se usa ruralmente para recorridos de menos de dos horas, y el bus de dos pisos, para viajes interurbanos, que puede contener asientos reclinables "Salon Cama". El tacaño o simplemente económico siempre viaja "ejecutivo" o "clásico".
  • Micro, que vale actualmente cerca de $400CLP tarifa fija, se le llama "la micro" seguido del numero de la ruta: "Toma la micro 1B hasta Santiago Rosas con calle Las Moras." Acostumbraban ser típicas las infames micros amarillas de Santiago, pero se han ido mejorando, y a la fecha (2020) son bastante modernos.

    guagua en Canarias también y en México usan camión al menos para el bus escolar – Iria Jan 14 '20 at 09:07
  • Soy de España y no conocía lo de "jardinera". Siempre he usado el término "lanzadera" para un servicio de autobús entre dos puntos específicos. – Spuny Jan 14 '20 at 11:21
  • @Spuny En Chile esos se llaman (prestado, seguro) "transfer"; usualmente son un furgoncito tipo Hyundai H1. Un hotel puede publicar "servicio transfer aeropuerto", por ejemplo, y hay empresas dedicadas al servicio. – Conrado Jan 14 '20 at 17:45
  • in Peru you can use "Micro", "Bus" or "Combi". usually are generic but also it depends on the bus size you can use: Micro is usually larger and specially old buses Bus, people understand this but is uncommon Combi is medium or small buses basically differente models resembling Volkswagen Type 2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Type_2#/media/File:0385_Porsche_Diesel_Bus_blau.jpg) – Grubhart Jan 14 '20 at 18:11
  • @Grubhart - Dive in and edit the community wiki answer -- that's great information. – aparente001 Jan 14 '20 at 22:00
  • @Conrado - ditto! – aparente001 Jan 14 '20 at 22:00
  • The qualification “para transporte dentro de la ciudad” for the colectivo doesn’t seem appropriate to me (at least for Mexico). At least, the colectivos I’ve taken in Mexico have all been in very rural areas. I see the description was originally added for urbano and the others were added later – was it supposed to only qualify that one? – Janus Bahs Jacquet Jan 14 '20 at 23:46
  • @JanusBahsJacquet - Which term is commonly used varies from one city to another. In fact, some cities just don't have any of these vans or mini-buses at all. In some, the middle class uses them whenever possible, instead of a city bus. Mexico is not homogeneous in its transportation solutions. – aparente001 Jan 15 '20 at 08:10

    @aparente001 My point was that colectivos are not specifically urban the way they’re described here. I imagine urbanos are indeed specifically urban, based on the name, and I don’t know about combis, but specifying colectivos as urban implies they don’t exist outside cities, which they do. – Janus Bahs Jacquet Jan 15 '20 at 13:01
  • @JanusBahsJacquet - Oh, okay, that has a simple solution. The answer is community wiki, so you can edit it freely and make any corrections you feel are needed, for example, you can make a new entry, or you can edit what's in the parentheses descriptions. // The ones you took in rural areas -- were they just medium distance, or also long distance? And out of curiosity, were animals permitted? – aparente001 Jan 15 '20 at 17:01
  • @aparente001 I didn’t want to make an incorrect edit since I’m not familiar with the other two types – wasn’t sure what to separate out and what to keep together. I’d say the ones I took were medium distance – about five to ten miles or so, perhaps a bit more. I took one from San Pedro Puchutla to Zipolite, for instance. I don’t know if animals would have been permitted – there weren’t any that I recall, but there could perhaps have been. – Janus Bahs Jacquet Jan 15 '20 at 17:09
  • Oye, @aparente001, I meant to add to the wiki but mistakenly created a new answer...? I'm sorry. – Conrado Jan 16 '20 at 03:33
  • @Conrado - No worries, just copy your material (easiest way is to edit your answer and copy the source code, so to speak), and then add it to the wiki by clicking edit on that. If you don't mind. Otherwise you might start a trend and then we'll have a big mess. – aparente001 Jan 16 '20 at 04:28

    @JanusBahsJacquet - check my edit, please. I used Conrado's wording (urbano o rural). I think that "rural" exactly captures what you described. – aparente001 Jan 16 '20 at 15:37

Agarré hace poquito un combi al centro de Morelia desde la central de autobuses.

También quería notar nomás que camión se usa en México más generalmente, no sólo para el autobús escolar.
