Characteristics of Buses
Intercity buses, as they hold passengers for significant periods of time, are designed to meet these needs. Some characteristics include:
- Comfortable seats that may include a folding table, armrests, and that sometimes recline. Comfort is considered to be an important feature in these buses.
- Luggage racks above the seats where passengers can access their luggage during the journey
- Luggage bays, where passengers' luggage can be stowed away from the seating area
- Overhead lights and fans that can be used by individual passengers with little or no disturbance to other passengers
- Bathrooms. The bathrooms on buses generally do not have running water or flushing toilets, and are sometimes equipped with hand sanitizer.
- On some buses, movies or other videos are shown to passengers
