Is it correct to say "through bus" in the context "direct bus from one place to another" [closed]
I live 12km away of my work. I don't have a car. I commute to my work by bus. But there is no one direct bus from my home to the work place. I need to take one bus, go to a station, get out and take another one.
Is it correct to say that there is no through bus
instead of no direct bus
to my work in the context above?
Is it usual for native speakers?

through train, noun
