intercity bus

A bus is a large, self-propelled vehicle designed to carry passengers, typically along a fixed route. Buses evolved from horse-drawn coaches and were developed in the early 20th century to offer more route flexibility than streetcars. Today, buses are defined as vehicles that can accommodate more than 10 passengers.1

Intercity buses, also known as coaches, are designed for longer-distance travel between cities. They feature high-back seats, ample luggage space, and amenities like overhead racks and sometimes entertainment systems. Companies like Greyhound Lines have historically been major providers of intercity bus transportation in the United States and Canada. Intercity travel can also include regional railways, buses, ferries, and limousines, with a focus on connecting different urban areas.1234
