Definition
客车 (kè chē) refers to a passenger vehicle — either a long-distance bus/coach or a passenger train (as opposed to freight). It is broader than 公交车 (city bus) and more formal or standard than the colloquial 大巴 (large bus). When meaning 'bus', 客车 specifically implies intercity or long-distance service.
