Omnibus act
What about "blah-blah omnibus act"? That legal term also needs to be explained. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.70.48.242 (talk • contribs). 12:47, 11 January 2005‎ (UTC)

Omnibus picture

 * probably this concerns material now in bus or wagonette -P64 2012-06-19

The caption Omnibus - Project Gutenberg eText 16943.jpg is incorrect - the picture is not late 18th early 19th C - check the Gutenberg text it is taken from. The text was about Paris in the age of Napoleon III. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 156.34.47.213 (talk • contribs). 02:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Vehicle
I saw a car that had a license plate that was labeled as an "omnibus". What does that mean?

 * 1. google omnibus license plate pennsylvania
 * 2. Generally, omnibus and autobus seem to be archaic terms for "bus", although at one time Omnibus, horse-drawn vehicle on public roads; Autobus, self-powered vehicle on public roads. See wagonette. ::--P64 (talk) 17:09, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Anthology
Does anyone have an example use of omnibus for "Anthology, a collection of literary works"?

I suspect that is a sloppy version of "Anthology ..." which I understand to mean a single-volume edition of previously published works by one author (or co-authors). Moments ago I moved this one up from "Media & entertainment" to "Publishing". --P64 (talk) 14:07, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I was going to ask about this usage. I had a book when I was a kid named The Omnibus of Nursery Rhymes, but none of these definitions apply to that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:E320:3CD:80AD:56B5:4BB0:8C8C (talk) 03:52, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
