I would use “motorbus” for the bus class, motorcar and motorcycle indicate there’s a system.
Must say 'motor bus' sounds really quaint to an English speaker. It's a term that belongs to the early 1900s when there were still maybe a few horse-drawn buses around. It just makes me think of this poem from 1914:
What is this that roareth thus? Can it be a Motor Bus? Yes, the smell and hideous hum Indicat Motorem Bum! Implet in the Corn and High Terror me Motoris Bi: Bo Motori clamitabo Ne Motore caedar a Bo--- Dative be or Ablative So thou only let us live:--- Whither shall thy victims flee? Spare us, spare us, Motor Be! Thus I sang; and still anigh Came in hordes Motores Bi, Et complebat omne forum Copia Motorum Borum. How shall wretches live like us Cincti Bis Motoribus? Domine, defende nos Contra hos Motores Bos! -- Steve --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
