Topic IntroductionHelp

Buses & coaches

Summary
Buses and coaches are passenger carrying vehicles - buses for commuter transport, coaches for longer distance travel.

Buses and coaches are usually 4-wheeled rigid vehicles, but a larger number of wheels and axles can be used.

Sometimes articulated buses are used to increase capacity.

Buses and coaches can be single-deck, or double-deck.

Buses are commonly used in cities as commuter transport, while coaches are more luxurious, and used for long distances.
