What is conductor bus?

A conductor bus is a type of public transportation where a conductor or ticket collector is present on board to collect fares, issue tickets, and provide assistance to passengers. Conductor buses are commonly found in developing countries, especially in rural areas, where electronic payment systems and other modern transportation technologies may not be widely available or feasible. These buses usually operate on fixed routes, picking up passengers at designated stops along the way. In some cases, conductor buses may also provide long distance transport services between cities or regions. However, with the evolution of technology and digital payment systems, conductor buses are becoming less common and being replaced by newer models of buses that employ smart payment systems and eliminate the need for a conductor.
