Pythonのエリフとはどういう意味ですか?

people = 30
cars = 40
buses = 15
  
  
if cars > people: 
  print( "We should take the cars.")
elif cars < people: 
  print ("We should not take the cars.")
else: 
  print ("We can&#39;t dicide.")
  
  
if buses > cars: 
  print ("That&#39;s too many buses.")
elif buses < cars: 
  print ("Maybe we could take the buses.")
else: 
  print ("We still can&#39;t decide.")
  
  
if people > buses: 
  print ("Alright, let&#39;s just take the buses.")
else: 
  print ("Fine, let&#39;s stay home then.")
