Talk:Trailer bus

A question
Hello! How do you call the vehicle displayed with this image ?

In Japanese it is called Torērā basu (sound transcription of "Trailer bus").

Which is the suitable word ? Road train? Trackless train? 211dot18dot204dot250 (talk) 02:13, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Not sure. It's not a "trailer bus" in the way it is defined in this article, i.e. a truck pulling a trailer. However, the rear half is a "bus trailer". The difference is the front bus can be used as a bus without the trailer. An alternative name could be drawbar trailer bus. There are some other examples like Image:Trol Škoda 7Tr Brno.jpg. I think it is used some places on trolleybuses MickMacNee (talk) 13:13, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Actually, see Bus trailer. MickMacNee (talk) 13:15, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
