When I was on the TrolleyCars back in the 1970s,  Delay  was the  
'Operative'  (oxymoron)  Word.       I finally got so tired of the 
question of:       "Why the Delay?"     that I answered by saying I 
parked at the curb on Market and Van Ness and had lunch in Zim's!!
.
One guy got on my  PCC  one day and asked why the buses were 
delayed.       My response:       "Are they delayed, too?"       I was 
being honest  --  my sister, a Very Non-Technical person,  N-E-V-E-R  
calls a TrolleyCar a  ({[bus]})    ----    N-E-V-E-R!~!~!~!       Took 
me Quite A While to get used to the TrolleyCars being called  ({[beeses]})
