I'm from El Salvador, is the term "Chicken bus" really used by tourists? Because for the locals that's our only alternative for public transport and it sounds derogatory.

I lived for a time in S.E. Mexico and northern Central America in the late 1970s/early 1980s. Whenever I had a weekend or a few days free I'd take bus trips. While I encountered many US tourists and expats, I don't recall hearing the phrase "chicken bus" at the time. (I'm not sure the phrase didn't exist back then, just that I don't recall hearing it until later.) When was the phrase originated and how was it popularized? When I first heard it I thought it was a deliberate insult. -- Infrogmation (talk) 23:41, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-07-04T23:41:00.000Z","author":"Infrogmation","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Infrogmation-2021-07-04T23:41:00.000Z-Origin_of_phrase","replies":[]}}-->

Perhaps this would be better reconfigured as an article "Bus transport in Central America" or something similar, rather than basing the whole article around a grating phrase that some find derogatory? Other thoughts on a better name for this article? -- Infrogmation (talk)
