城際巴士






創立於1914年的灰狗巴士是美國與加拿大地區規模最龐大的城際巴士經營業者，也是該領域最知名的品牌之一。


城際巴士（美式英文：Intercity Bus；英式英文：Intercity Coach），或又常稱為長途客運、長途巴士、長途公車、城際公交车（中國大陆的英文意譯）、長途公交车，是一種使用巴士之類的大型客車運送乘客往返於不同城市、鄉鎮或其他聚落之間的公共運輸服務，常被視為是公共汽車服務（英语：Public transport bus service）的一類，並與航空、鐵路及私有車輛並列為最主要的四種城際運具選擇[1]。


有別於城市內的路線巴士通常採取短站距、班次密集的營運方式，城際巴士通常僅有在起訖點的城市內或周圍設置單一或少量的幾個停靠站，在城市與城市之間則為長距離行駛不停站。世界上大部分的地區都有城際巴士服務，有些地區的此類運輸是由政府經營，但也有許多民營的城際巴士業者存在。城際巴士經常被視為是城際鐵路運輸的替代運輸模式，尤其在人口較為稀疏的地區，城際巴士因具有較高的調度彈性與較低的建置與營運成本，因此常被當作鐵路運輸的低成本替代。

全世界的城际公交车


雖然基本的經營方式雷同，但各地區的城際巴士常因不同的環境與習慣而有不同的稱呼。以漢字文化圈為例，在台灣因大部分的城際巴士都是以高速公路（國道）為行駛路線因此常又稱為國道客運，有國光客運、 和欣客运和统联客運；在香港與澳門，因大部分的城際巴士都會穿越與中國內地之間的界線，因此較常以跨境巴士稱呼之；在日本，城際巴士同樣也是因為大部分都是以高速公路（日文中稱為「高速道路」）為主要動線，因此被稱為高速巴士（高速バス）。

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

Image
0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers? scheduled-tasks taskscheduler windowstaskschedule share | improve this question asked Nov 15 '18 at 15:36 Far...
