All Implemented Interfaces:

ai.tock.bot.engine.I18nTranslator , ai.tock.translator.I18nKeyProvider
```
public interface Bus<T extends Bus<T>>
 implements I18nTranslator
                    
```
A new bus instance is created for each user request.
The bus is used by bot implementations to reply to the user request.
