Coach Bus Deals

In British and Australian English, the term coach is used to refer to a large motor vehicle for conveying passengers. To differentiate from other types of bus, a coach has a luggage hold separate from the passenger cabin. Also, whereas other buses are primarily used to transport commuters relatively short distances within the same city, coaches are more used for longer trips between cities - or even between countries - where passengers may pre-book tickets for a specific journey.

The term coach implies a higher level of comfort than bus, and for that reason appears in the formal names of many bus companies in the US.

For similar reasons, airlines in the US have applied the term coach to economy class.

The original meaning of the term coach was that of a horse-drawn vehicle designed for the conveyance of more than one passenger and of mail, that is covered for protection from the elements. It was applied to railway carriages in the 19th century, and later to motor coaches.

There are two categories of motor coach: long distance inter-city coach service, and urban-suburban bus line.
