Campaign bus

Campaign bus

A campaign bus is a bus used as both a vehicle and a center of operations in a political campaign. The modern use of campaign buses is often calculated to bring to mind whistle stop tours that political candidates had historically used to reach large numbers of voters while campaigning by train.
