Usage notes
- Autobus is the standard full form; bus is common in speech and writing, especially in timetables and everyday conversation.
- Use prendere l'autobus or andare in autobus for transport. Italian usually avoids bare bus without an article after verbs like prendere.
- For city transport, bus contrasts with tram and metropolitana. Pullman usually means a coach for longer-distance travel, not a city bus.
