Bus, Coach Charter & Tours Buses are an intrinsic part of everyday life, and play an important part in the social fabric. Many urban public transportation systems rely on bus services. Bus services can fit into several broad classes. Local transit buses provide public transit within a city or one or more suburbs, usually for trips of only a few kilometres. Intercity, interstate buses provide transit between cities, towns, rural areas and places usually hundreds of kilometres away. They generally provide fewer bus stops than local bus routes do. Some public transit busses offer express bus service in addition to local bus lines. Local lines provide frequent stops along a route, while express lines make fewer stops and more speed along that route. For example, an express bus line may provide speedier service between a local airport and the downtown area of a nearby city. Shuttle bus service provide transit service between two destinations, such as an airport and city centre. Shuttle bus services are often provided by colleges, airports, shopping areas, companies, and amusement destinations. Tour bus service shows tourists notable sights by bus. City tour buses often simply pass by the sites while a tour guide describes them. Longer distance tour coaches generally allow passengers to disembark at specific points of interest. Some tourist buses are decorated in order to attract tourists or for other appearance purposes. A similar phenomenon is Duck Tours, which uses amphibious DUKWs converted into buses/cruise boats for tour purposes. School bus service provides transit to and from school for students. Some private schools use school buses only for field trips or sports events. Some schools do not operate their own school bus but instead rely on the local public transit bus to provide transportation. Charter bus operators, provide buses with properly licensed bus drivers for hire. |
