A motor coach, also known as an intercity bus, is a long-distance passenger vehicle used for traveling between cities and countries. Unlike shorter-distance transit buses, motor coaches have separate luggage storage and amenities for longer trips like comfortable seats, air conditioning, and sometimes bathrooms. Executive motor coaches offer even more luxury with potential features like conference rooms, showers, and premium seating. They are well-suited for corporate travel or special events. Common motor coach amenities include reclining seats, overhead luggage racks, restrooms, onboard entertainment, refreshments, and WiFi. Motor coaches provide a hassle-free way for groups to travel long distances while enjoying socializing and safety.
