Oliver Simoes (X) May 7, 2011:
Maria Cristina, acho que "vehicles" seria uma boa escolha, já que é mais abrangente e o contexto não está claro. O núcleo ou a palavra-chave da frase a ser traduzida é "transporte" e não "veículos", ou seja, esse corredor será caracterizado pelo "transporte de passageiros..." No seu lugar, eu deixaria "transporte de passageiros" como núcleo da frase.
Nick Taylor May 7, 2011:
If If it DOES mean bus it sounds a bit sesquipedalian :-)
Maria Cristina Vasconcelos (asker) May 7, 2011:
Que tal se a gente combinasse as sugestões e pusesse :" medium capacity vehicles for urban transport"?

bus

it's quite possibly a bus lane but why use one word when 6 sounds so much pompous
Peer comment(s):
neutral Oliver Simões : Not so pompous when you consider the original text has 8 words! The keyword is "transporte", not the vehicles involved. It could possibly include vans and other middle-sized vehicles as well.
