midibus : L'emploi de ce terme est déconseillé, car «midi» n’est pas un préfixe pouvant servir à former des mots en français et n'a pas le sens de «format intermédiaire» comme en anglais (réf. Petit Robert). En français, «midi» est un substantif qui signifie «milieu du jour» ou «sud». Le terme «midibus» ne semble donc pas bien formé en français. 3, record 1, French, - autobus%20interm%C3%A9diaire
