Puzzle concerning public transport (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebus

'puzzle' is the definition.
(type of visual puzzle)

'concerning public transport' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'public transport' becomes 'bus' (bus is a kind of public transport).
're'+'bus'='REBUS'

(Other definitions for rebus that I've seen before include "Pictorial word puzzle" , "solver?" , "Word puzzle involving pictures" , "Puzzling symbols, etc" , "Pictorial teaser" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and the Evening Standard.
