I looked on wikipedia and found that a "bus" usually follows a predetermined route from A to B. What a quaint idea - we have minibus people carriers (thousands of them on the roads): http://www.google.co.za/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fnorthcoastcourier.co.za%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2014%2F04%2FSoweto_Taxi_Rank.jpg%253F9187d3&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fnorthcoastcourier.co.za%2F16177%2Ftaxi-rank-moves-sangweni%2F&h=379&w=610&tbnid=mYTtKyzD09qKtM%3A&zoom=1&docid=OQ-IErP7vJe_cM&ei=obHcU42-NMbB0QWw7YGwBw&tbm=isch&client=firefox-a&ved=0CCsQMygPMA8&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=2587&page=1&start=0&ndsp=16 These define a "route" as "wherever I want to go, whenever I want to do it, however I chose. Rules of the road do not apply." -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
