It sounds more like a metaphor, like "bandwagon." I agree with everything else you said but I can't recommend using this phrase. News truck is fine. | |

| Mar 9, 2021 at 16:32 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | The divisions between van, truck, bus are arbitrary and imprecise. If you want to convey that the vehicle you're talking about is larger than the average "news van" (whatever that means to you), you can call it a "news truck" if you like. And to convey that it holds more people than the "standard" vehicle, you can call it a "news bus". But none of these terms have fixed definitions, so it's basically a matter of opinion. | |
