green limousine

Any city/metro bus that there are only a few riders on.
(Years ago, Milwaukee buses used to be a "baby-poop" green, so we always called them the green limousine, the current ones are predominately a darker green) Generally, the actual color of the bus does not matter because all buses are "Green", ie; eco-stuff.

Dude, you work downtown, do you take your car?
No, parking is too expensive, so I take the green limousine.
