An express bus service is a bus service that is intended to run faster than normal bus services between the same two commuter points.
These buses usually run between the downtown sections of cities and the more residential suburbs or outer boroughs.
Express buses operate on a faster schedule by not making as many stops as normal bus services and often take quicker routes, that other buses usually do not, such as along freeways.
Express buses are also used in some cases to provide shuttle service to and from major events. In this case the 'express' nature of the service is reflected in the fact that the bus has only two stops, a designated park and ride lot, and the event destination.
Fares
An express bus may charge a different fee to ride than normal buses, either higher to charge for the quicker service, or lower to promote it as an alternative to driving and contributing to road congestion.
