Bus

Buses were large, four-wheeled vehicles, sometimes with two floors, used on Earth, capable of transporting many more passengers than a standard automobile. They often bore numbers associated with routes so that passengers could know which specific bus to ride in order to get to a particular place.

History

The Fourth Doctor, Sharon Davies and Beep the Meep caught the number 5A bus in Blackcastle to escape the Wrath Warriors. Despite the Doctor telling the bus conductor "You must let us on this bus! The whole future of the galaxy is at stake!", the reply was "Sorry, mate! No animals allowed on my bus -- except on a lead!" — necessitating the Doctor's having to tie his scarf around Beep's neck as a temporary lead. As the three boarded the bus, one male passenger was seen to be thinking "Oh no! Please don't let them sit next to me!"
