The use of bus for both a public transit system vehicle and a set of data transmission wires comes from the Latin word omnibus, the dative plural of omnes, or all. Omnibus was used as a name for transportation in France, starting in the city of Nantes in 1828. Some sources say that the public system was called a voiture omnibus (car for everyone) and others that it comes from a shopkeeper who punned on his own last name, Omnes, so that his store near the terminal of the horse-drawn vehicles was called Omnes Omnibus (Everything for Everyone) and the name was attached to the transportation.
