Correct answer
Explanation
The first public bus service in Paris used vehicles known as 'carrosses à cinq sols,' which translates to 'five-penny coaches.' The term 'omnibus' was not coined until the 1820s when a similar service was launched in Nantes. 'Carosse' is the historically accurate name for Pascal's 17th-century invention.
