The word itself is a compound, with "auto" referring to automobile or vehicle and "busoa" derived from the English word "bus."

In practical use, "autobusoa" refers to the public transportation vehicle that operates on scheduled routes, typically for intercity or local travel. Companies operating these services in the Basque Country often use the term in their branding and timetables. For instance, a bus company might be referred to as "autobusoa zerbitzua" which means "bus service." The infrastructure associated with autobusoa, such as bus stations and stops, also plays a vital role in the region's transportation network.

The concept of autobusoa is fundamental to urban and regional mobility in the Basque Country, providing a means for residents and tourists to travel efficiently. It represents a common and accessible mode of public transport, connecting various towns, cities, and even rural areas within the autonomous community and beyond.
