How it's used
Originally a slang term for the top leader or boss, bus enthusiasts repurposed this to refer specifically to the first vehicle in a series, often the prototype or the one with the lowest fleet number. It carries a sense of seniority and uniqueness among bus fans. You will mostly hear this in hobbyist circles rather than in general public transport discussions.
