Charabanc is a word that was commonly used in the early 20th century to refer to a large, motorized vehicle that could carry a large number of passengers. Today, this word is somewhat outdated and has been replaced by a number of different synonyms that more accurately describe this type of vehicle. Some of the most commonly used synonyms for charabanc include coach, bus, minibus, shuttle, and people-carrier. Each of these words describes a similar type of vehicle that is designed to transport a relatively large number of people, typically for short or medium-length trips.
