Transport leader playing on the Underground, perhaps? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

busking

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'playing on the underground perhaps?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'transport leader' is the wordplay.
'transport' becomes 'bus' (bus is a kind of transport**).
'leader' becomes 'king' (King is an example).
'bus'+'king'='BUSKING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for busking that I've seen before include "providing entertainment for commuters?" , "Playing street music" , "street diversion" , "performing for donations" , "Performing in the street for money" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
