George took public transport to the hotel (4)
I believe the answer is:
bush
'george took' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'public transport to the hotel' is the wordplay.
'public transport' becomes 'bus' (bus is a kind of public transport).
'to the hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'bus'+'h'='BUSH'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bush that I've seen before include "Shrub; Kate --, singer" , "Wild area" , "part of shrubbery" , "A shrub or a modern president" , "Shrub; US president" .)
