How it's used

People in Hong Kong often shorten this to 旅巴 when speaking quickly or referring to the vehicle type in professional contexts. While it specifically refers to coaches used for tourism, it is frequently used to describe any large charter bus used for group transport, such as company outings or school trips.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 公共巴士, which refers to public franchised buses that follow fixed routes and stop at designated street stops. Using 旅遊巴士 for a regular city bus will sound confusing to locals.
