Feeder bus and Public bus

[Loh Jane]

Hi English Teachers,
Is there any difference between ‘a feeder bus’ and ‘a public bus’? Thanks a lot in advance.

[emsr2d2]

I have never heard of a "feeder bus" in BrE.

Hi emsr2d2,
there is, you visit MTR Bus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and you can see.

[emsr2d2]

As I said, in British English I have not heard of it. You have answered your own question by finding the Wikipedia link which makes it clear exactly what type of public bus a feeder bus is.

Hi emsr2d2,
I am not clear, are they the same?

[emsr2d2]

Feeder buses are public buses. Not all public buses are feeder buses.

Hi emsr2d2,
do you mean public buses include tourist buses?

Hi emsr2d2,
do you mean public buses include tourist buses?

Who mentioned tourist buses?

[Loh Jane]

Hi,
I mentioned.

[bhaisahab]

Hi,
I mentioned.

In that case, how could emsr2d2 have meant that public buses include tourist buses? She didn't say anything about tourist buses.
