German term or phrase: Eilbus

Strangely enough, I can't think of too many varieties of bus...

The context is: Mit S-Bahn, U-Bahn und der AKN verfügt Hamburg über ein Schnellbahnnetz, welches wichtige Bereiche der Stadt sowie des meist nördlichen Umlands weiträumig erschließt. Daneben besteht ein gut ausgebautes Stadtbusnetz (auch Metrobusse, Schnellbusse, Eilbusse).

A distinction between Schnellbusse and Eilbusse would be handy, too - thanks a lot!
