Bus

A bus was a large type of automobile ground transportation that carried a large number of passengers. The two primary uses of buses included a mass-transit system within larger city or as transportation between various settlements. Because of the large size, some buses carried advertising on the sides of the vehicle.

While on a mission in the year 1986, James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock attempted to use a bus in the city of San Francisco. They were first unsuccessful when they did not have exact change to pay for the bus fare. On a later successful attempt, Kirk and Spock encountered a rowdy Punk on the Bus. The advertisement on the side of a bus provided Kirk with the logical answer of where to find the two Humpback whales, George and Gracie at the Cetacean Institute.
