A - Z El transporte publico / Public transportation

Question

Let's play A - Z public transportation.

I will give the first word which begins with "A", then the next person post starts with "B", then "C" and so on. Give your answer in Spanish with an English translation.

Since the letters "K, W, X,Y, and Z are difficult Spanish letters you may answer with an English word with Spanish translation. If we don't get stuck maybe we can go around twice.

Words can be any type of transportation or something related to transportation. example: token booth, strap you hold when you ride the subway, pull cord on a bus, ect.

Please click on the "Newest" tab to see which letter we are on.

first word: autobús escolar - school bus
