"公共汽车在哪儿？"

Translation: Where is the bus?

[Andrew-Lin]

公共汽車在哪兒？
As somebody has mentioned, in (Mainland) China "公交车" is a common synonym for "公共汽车". This word is not used in Taiwan, we prefer to use "公車". Besides, a borrowing word "巴士" is also common. You can use them interchangeably.

PUBLIC TOTAL STEAM CAR IS WHERE?

[SHERLOW1]

i believe 公共汽车 is public bus. so why is my answer rejected

[Kivolamuzikisto]

If your answer was "where is the public bus" then that's technically correct, but unless you need to specify that it's public you'd leave it out.

[AlisonBerz]

Now THIS is a sentence that can get some use in my everyday life

[Shoshana189748]

Is 'Where are the buses?' also correct?

[Gabrielle145359]

Yes. The Chinese does not specify singular or plural.

[Watashiomu]

I said this while brushing

[Esperanta-kato]

Can I translate this as "where is A bus?"

[d4nielr8]

Nice to know the same problems exist on the morning commute in China too!

[IanSavage31]

I typed in, "Where is the bus located." Would this also be correct, because in the literal translation, the character 在 translates to "is located."

[c.elise.t]

Yes but you can almost never translate Chinese literally into English because Chinese uses a whole different structure and words etc so that would sound weird. As does this sentence
