Intercity Bus - Characteristics of Buses

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
