From that external link, shouldn't this be at TheBus (no space)? That would also make it clear that it's not just any bus. Dori | Talk 17:04, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)
- I'm going by the way the Honolulu City Charter officially recognizes it in law as The Bus (with a space). Gerald Farinas 17:14, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
TheTrasit buses repurposed to the CityExpress routes, are diesel-electric, not gasoline electric (from my memory, also noted in http://starbulletin.com/2005/04/23/news/story9.html), fixed.
TheTransit, Route E, service lasted from November '04 to June '05, not "2 months" as stated, fixed (see http://starbulletin.com/2004/11/19/news/story3.html (debut), and http://www.thebus.org/New/new.asp (shows discontinuation effective 6/12/05).
Although it may be reffered to with a space in the city charter, it is overwhelmingly more written without the space in OTS's own signage and timetables, as well as most media articles in the local papers, and the websites of local TV stations. Typing as one word with mixed-capitalization also helps to distingush that it is a brand name, as it is, opposed to a bus in general.
Futhermore, the current incarnation of TheBus, as operated by public-benefit corporation Oahu Transit Services is different than the preceding service outlined in the city charter. ryank808 | Talk 02:36, Jul 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ‘America's Best Transit System’
What is it that is special about this bus network that won it this title despite its lack of higher-end services? The article seems quite incomplete without this information. David Arthur 02:06, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
The photo linked on bus says that TheBus was disqualified from some award. I was hoping that this article might say why, but it doesnt.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Thebus logo.png
Image:Thebus logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Separate article for routes?
I'd like to include information on each route TheBus operates, but I'm not sure if I should create a separate article for that. Musashi1600 07:58, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Flag for advertisement
Whoever flagged this article that it's written like an advertisement, can you provide examples? There really isn't another way to mention how much fares and services are. Lookup other mass transit articles for other cities and they are very similar. 162.115.108.120 (talk) 19:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
