Perth city bus station Scottish Tayside Region Perthshire XPL 6399
A coach or motorcoach describes a more luxurious version of a bus, designed for more comfortable or longer-distance travel. Coaches can come in the same general configurations as buses, as single- or double-deckers, articulated, or small 'mini-coaches'. Coaches have a higher floor level than buses, to allow for under-floor storage of luggage. The larger coach designs are often heavier and higher powered than the equivalent-sized buses, to allow higher speed motorway or autoroute operation and increased luggage carrying capacity. Coaches do not generally allow for standing passengers, and feature upholstered, high-backed, individual seating. Coaches often contain passenger comforts such reclining seats, hand luggage storage, a toilet, and audio-visual entertainment systems. As a low-cost version of a coach, a bus may be fitted with coach-style, higher-backed, more comfortable seats, termed ‘dual-purposed’ bodywork. These may be used on long-distance public transport services, or as low-cost charter coaches. Increasingly, in some areas, individual, upholstered, coach-style seating, either fully high-backed or standard bus-seat height, is being employed on higher-specification transit buses, sometimes with leather upholstery.
