Etymology
The phrase "mit dem Bus" comes from German, where "mit" means "with" and "Bus" is a borrowing from the English word "bus," originally short for "omnibus." The term "omnibus" was first used in the 19th century to describe public transportation vehicles. Did you know? The word "bus" was adopted into German with the same meaning, and "mit dem Bus" literally means "with the bus."
