Exact vehicles, amenities, rules, pricing, insurance, driver credentials, operating authority, and documentation vary by operator, route, passenger capacity, date, and jurisdiction.
What Changes a La Mesa Transportation Quote

Why do big groups need comfort capacity, not just legal capacity?
Legal capacity tells you the passenger limit. Comfort capacity accounts for formalwear, coolers, bags, standing room, aisle space, and how long people will be on board. Longer trips usually need more room.
