Exceptional bus plan's sure a hit (13)
I believe the answer is:
unsurpassable
'exceptional' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'bus plan's sure a hit' is the wordplay.
'hit' indicates an anagram.
'bus'+'plans'+'sure'+'a'='busplanssurea'
'busplanssurea' is an anagram of 'UNSURPASSABLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for unsurpassable that I've seen is " Not able to be bettered".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
