Cluster sample

Step-by-step explanation:

Samples may be classified as:

Random: Basically, put all the options into a hat and drawn some of them.

Systematic: Every kth element is taken. For example, you want to survey something on the street, you interview every 5th person, for example.

Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.

Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. However, then only some elements of the group are surveyed.

In this problem, we have that:

Selection of groups according to the buses.

All members on those buses are pulled.

So this is an cluster sample.
