Sense 6, a Ford Transit van, this should be capitalised in the same way Ford is, and transferred to Transit (a German entry exists there). It doesn't belong here. DonnanZ (talk) 16:55, 1 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

A change of heart, I have redirected it to a new entry at Transit. DonnanZ (talk) 18:08, 1 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Here are a few cites for lower-case transit (in all cases in the combination transit van; you can also find transit bus): [1], [2], [3], [4]. I guess that this refers to Ford Transit vans, but when it comes to automative jargon I’m as good as illiterate.  --Lambiam 18:35, 1 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Yes, probably, they have been a common breed in this part of the world since the 1960s, so more have been scrapped compared to the newer models that are actually on the road now. I have driven one or two some years ago. DonnanZ (talk) 19:53, 1 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
