(pronounced AHM-nih-behs)

Though an omnibus can be used to refer to a motorized vehicle capable of transporting many riders or a volume comprised of many works, more often than not people use it today as an adjective to mean comprehensive and encompassing or including many things.

Example: When Jackson realized how little time he was going to have with the interviewer, he wished he had narrowed down his portfolio to his top three projects instead of bringing the omnibus collection now sitting on his lap.
