Yes, native speakers, we know YOU can do it . . . at least use the

[ / spoiler] tags . . .

Since I'm pretty obviously not a native speaker :unsure:

公交车除外 -- public transport vehicles excepted

除外 -- that's a pretty useful word, I'm going to have to add to to my to-learn list

Yep, which basically means . . .

buses

Then why don't instead they use

公共汽車

?

Hmmm, maybe because it's shorter. And you also have 电车。 I suspect we're thinking about it much more than the guy who wrote the sign ever did.
