Proposed merge with Express bus service edit
Lacks notability for its own page. ««« SOME GADGET GEEK »»» (talk) 02:56, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
Proposed merge with Transit bus edit
- Oppose While notability is indeed a bit of an issue, I'm thinking that the format of the combined article is a bigger problem. How will it present itself going forward? (it takes more than content to improve notability) --SteveCof00 (talk) 10:56, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Rename to "Transit bus service" edit
"Public transport" is pretentious and clumsy. In my own experience, and ccording to my Google Ngrams, "Transit" is much more common. "Public transport" is more common in British English than American English, but even there "Transit" is more common. The article itself uses "Transit" in places.
Unless somebody objects, I'm going to rename and edit accordingly. Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 23:24, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- No objection to changing the entire article to American English, but I completely disagree that the term "public transport" is "pretentious", it's commonly used in Commonwealth countries. I would never use "public transit" to refer to public train/bus/ferry/similar services as an Australian English speaker, "public transport" is the common term for this.

- OK, "pretentious" is a subjective evaluation, but so is "I would never use." Let's fall back to the Google NGrams data. Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 00:05, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- I just did an Ngram search myself for "public transport" and "public transit", and "public transport" wins out by far. See [1]. Perhaps you did "public transport" vs "transit"? I think that would provide inaccurate results because "transit" could refer to things outside of this topic, like "transiting flights" or "I'm transiting through X country to get to Y country".

- OK, you're right. Never mind. Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 00:18, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
