The complication is that we do not use this format to designate municipal bus routes: bus number six is the sixth bus in the series, not the sixth bus route.

2013年12月22日 · Hello, If one needs to take more than one bus to a place, do we usually say that "someone takes a bus to someplace" or "someone takes buses to someplace"? For example: Tom is going to take buses to the airport.

2009年10月31日 · Thinking about AE usage a little more, I suspect, but cannot prove, that we are more apt to take a/the bus for long journeys, and catch a/the bus for local commutation. I'm taking a bus from Boston to Las Vegas. [We also take trains …

2011年8月1日 · When you take the bus/train/plane to go somewhere, you don't just get in any bus/train/plane and expect to end up at the correct destination. You take advantage of a particular bus/train/plane that is already going there so it is considered to be a particular bus/train/plane and therefore you use the definite article.

As to buses: As I think about it, I'd say that we almost always use "the". Often, there is only one bus line (with more than one vehicle, of course) that goes to a particular place.

2010年8月17日 · Generally, I hear bus drivers and tour guides say "get off the bus" when they refer to routine stops. You can use "get off the bus" or "get out of the bus" with one, many, or all passengers. I think I share a belief with James M and Harry Batt that saying "get out of the bus" could carry a meaning not covered by "get off the bus".

2019年7月21日 · But then I thought "Should we take a bus or a train?" might be better logically or grammatically (<---thought I know this is a ridiculous thought by a non-native speaker). When I hear the sound of the recording again concentrating on the pronunciation of the part, I think there seems to be an almost imperceptible "a" after the "or."

2013年12月17日 · The word to must be followed by a bare infinitive in English ("I'm going to take the bus to go home"). You may only use a gerund with particular phrases that require one, such as to look forward to + gerund, or to be used to + gerund, or to get around to + gerund, etc.

2006年6月16日 · The others that take on, that you appear to be in, are those that have a deck or decks on which one could stand. The only anomaly I can think of is a submarine. It surely has a deck, and you can stand, but you are totally enclosed? In a submarine. NB I never take a bus. I …
