Is esperar a transitive verb?

Lisa D.B1Kwiziq community member

In this question (I waited for them), it appears to me that "them" is an indirect object pronoun. Below, Gruff, a Kwiziq team member says this. However, this question is answered by using a direct object pronoun. I got it wrong when I used the indirect pronoun. Which is it? I would appreciate having this clarified as I keep getting this question and I don't know how to answer it. Thanks,

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using lo, la, los, las = him, her, it, them (direct object pronouns)"

I'm wondering this too, Lisa. When we say, "Espero el autobus" then "el autobus" would be the direct object. So if I say, "Espero a mis amigos" should "a mis amigos" not be a direct object as well?
