Did You Know?
What is the origin of the modern coach bus?
The modern motorcoach traces its roots to the 1920s when companies like Greyhound began offering long-distance bus service with cushioned seats and enclosed cabins. Post-WWII advances brought air conditioning, restrooms, and reclining seats. Today's 56-passenger coaches are engineering marvels of comfort and efficiency.
