In Mexico, the most common and widespread word used to say "bus" is "camión," which translates literally to truck but is universally used across the country to describe public city buses and transit vehicles. Another extremely popular and colloquial Mexican term for a bus is "pesero" or "colectivo," which historically referred to fixed-route microbuses or shared taxis that charged a fixed peso fare. For long-distance luxury passenger liners that travel between different states and cities, Mexicans use the formal word "autobús." Additionally, regional slang terms like "guagua" or "camión urbano" appear in various states, making "camión" and "autobús" the safest, most widely understood terms throughout Mexico.
