Also means
stagecoach
Usage Note
Diligencia has two quite different senses: the virtue of diligence or care (trabaja con diligencia), and historically a horse-drawn stagecoach. In legal or administrative Spanish it also means a formal procedure or errand (diligencias policiales). Context distinguishes the senses clearly.
