(limited service) Explanation: At the bus stop of line 62 (limited service). Doesn't sound very literary, though... an example: "PUBLIC TRANSPORT: Bus; limited service from Dundee, Forfar and Kirriemuir; tel. Meffan Coaches, (01575) 572130 or Strathtay Buses, (01382) 227201."

alternate 62 Explanation: I'll explain better. In big cities like Rome, you have the 62 bus, and then you have the "62 barrato": it's a 62 with a diagonal slash over the 62 (ghostbusters style) to indicate an alternate bus. It can skip or make certain stops the regular one doesn't handle. |

I would use another number! Explanation: In Italy bus line numbers are conventionally denominated "barrato" when they run on a slightly different way than the "non barrato" lines. I don't think you can translate this concept with an equivalent English term... If you are writing a novel, maybe you can choose another bus line? :-) exp |
