"bus" in OSM is defined as a bus performing public transport service
[1]. I recently added "tourist_bus" as this was required for local
jurisdiction (I found an explicit sign: "tourist buses" [2]).

There is also another issue with busses: the wiki definition (in [1])
defines busses as vehicles with more than 12 seating positions, which
surely is some national legislation, but in other countries this
number might vary (e.g. in Germany it is 8) so I suggest to adjust
this text to a generic term.

cheers,
