A coach is a road vehicle of the heavy goods vehicle family intended for the transport of passengers over long distances, or TRV (road passenger transport).
Coaches are thus used to make interurban connections from bus stations, or tourist trips. Over shorter distances, they are used for school bus service.
A coach can have two floors, and it is always equipped with compartments for the transport of luggage and seats for the passengers. It is indeed compulsory to be seated during a coach journey, and, since 2003, to wear a seat belt, under penalty of personal liability in the event of an accident.
