  • A campaign bus (battle bus in the UK) is a bus used as both a vehicle and a center of operations during a political campaign, whether for a specific candidate, a political party, or a political cause. A campaign bus can also transport members of the press covering a candidate's campaign. In the UK, they are shared by reporters, political commentators and a politician, usually a party leader, to give them all access to each other as they traverse the country making speeches and other engagements during a general election campaign. In theory, the mutual advantage is that journalists get close access to politicians, and politicians can convey their message more directly to those reporting them. The modern use of campaign buses is often calculated to bring to mind whistle stop train tours that political candidates had historically used to reach large numbers of voters while campaigning by train. The use of the campaign bus began at least as early as the 1940s, when The New Republic reported that 1948 presidential contender Thomas E. Dewey was "waylaid... in his campaign bus" by a charmed female admirer who "told him she would vote for him because he was 'so pink and pretty'". John F. Kennedy's "Alliance for Progress" theme was coined on board a campaign bus travelling through Texas in 1960. Candidates may provide interviews to the press or relax on the campaign bus. In 1972, the presidential campaign of Senator Ed Muskie was damaged when a reporter wrote that Muskie's wife, Jane Muskie, "tried to cheer up a campaign bus with the flippant suggestion that everybody swap risque stories". "Battle buses" were first seen in the UK in the late 1970s. Before that, reporters followed party leaders in separate cars. The battle bus was a significant feature of the 1987 UK general election as David Owen and David Steel of the SDP-Liberal Alliance each crisscrossed the country in matching battle buses, each painted bright yellow. Some buses may have names relating to the general theme of the campaign; John McCain traveled aboard a campaign bus named the "Straight Talk Express" during his 2000 presidential campaign. Campaign buses are used in many countries. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, known popularly as Lula, used this method of campaigning extensively, and was elected President of Brazil. Over the course of his campaign, "Lula traveled to 350 cities and towns in twenty-three states, in separate campaign bus tours". In the United Kingdom, John Major "adopted the old-fashioned practice of addressing the public from a 'soap box' erected outside his campaign bus". Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas also used a campaign bus to great effect during his 1988 campaign for President of Mexico, which although unsuccessful led to the downfall of single-party rule in Mexico. In Canada party leaders often lease coaches with sides decorated with the party name or their own names. The buses are used to travel between destinations that do not require air travel. Members of the media and other campaign officials may travel along with the party leader. (en)
  • Un bus de campagne, une caravane de campagne ou un autobus de campagne au Canada, est un autocar utilisé pour le déplacement et comme centre des opérations lors d'une campagne électorale, que ce soit pour un candidat spécifique ou bien pour un parti politique. Un autobus de campagne peut également transporter à l'occasion des journalistes attitrés à la couverture médiatique des déplacements. À l'extérieur, le véhicule est caractérisé par son lettrage servant de panneau publicitaire et de décors aux apparitions publiques. Le mobilier à l'intérieur est disposé pour permettre le travail et le repos. Des bains de foule sont souvent organisés à ses abords, donnant lieu à des salutations avec des partisans ou bien parfois des altercations avec des opposants. (fr)
  • Autobus wyborczy – autobus, z którego prowadzona jest kampania wyborcza kandydata w wyborach lub partii politycznej. Politycy wykorzystują autobusy wyborcze, by podróżować po kraju i spotykać się z wyborcami. Używanie autobusów w kampanii jest znane już co najmniej od 1948 roku, kiedy to podróżował swoim autobusem przed wyborami prezydenckimi w USA. Niektóre autobusy wyborcze zyskały własne nazwy, jak na przykład: * Tuskobus – autobus Donalda Tuska podczas wyborów parlamentarnych w 2011 * Czerwony Autobus – autobus SLD podczas wyborów do Parlamentu Europejskiego w 2014 * Bronkobus – autobus Bronisława Komorowskiego podczas wyborów prezydenckich w 2015 * Dudabus – autobus Andrzeja Dudy podczas wyborów prezydenckich w 2015 * Szydłobus – autobus Beaty Szydło podczas wyborów parlamentarnych w 2015 * .R-Bus – autobus Ryszarda Petru podczas wyborów parlamentarnych w 2015 Prowadzenie kampanii wyborczej z autobusu jest popularne w wielu krajach. Podczas kampanii prezydenckiej w USA w 2000 roku sławny stał się autobus Johna McCaina nazwany Straight Talk Express. W Wielkiej Brytanii autobusy wyborcze nazywane battle bus są od lat 70. XX wieku jednym z symboli wyborów. Z podróżowania autobusem znany jest również prezydent Brazylii Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. (pl)
