While never appearing in traffic, the Coach has also been utilized in at least one mission in GTA London 1969 ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wThi3tCmu60&feature=PlayList&p=82C3D1F2EA05B0A4&index=18 Mission 19: Phone 2 in Northwest Bow #1]) as a means of trapping a targeted passenger and blowing the bus and its passenger up. The game's rendition is no different from the Coach in GTA 1, but is stretched to appear slightly narrower in width and longer in length. | While never appearing in traffic, the Coach has also been utilized in at least one mission in GTA London 1969 ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wThi3tCmu60&feature=PlayList&p=82C3D1F2EA05B0A4&index=18 Mission 19: Phone 2 in Northwest Bow #1]) as a means of trapping a targeted passenger and blowing the bus and its passenger up.

The GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories renditions of the Coach assume a modern design, with a curved front and partially rounded body. Due to its size, the Coach is capable of seating a large number of passengers (up to 8, as seen in the GTA III mission, [[The Fuzz Ball]]). The vehicle runs on six wheels, has tinted windows (which do not allow the player to see inside), has two passenger access doors on both sides, and can be sprayed in two-tone color schemes. It appears to be based on an [[wp:Motor Coach Industries|MCI]] J4500 or a E4500, however the doors have been moved. | The GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories renditions of the Coach assume a modern design, with a curved front and partially rounded body.

As with the GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories renditions, these other Coaches can still hold a large number of passengers (7 in San Andreas), and may be seen stopping at designated bus stops in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas. In GTA Vice City, there exists an undocumented bus driver mini-game for the Coach. Stealing the bus and stopping at bus stops will cause passengers to board, awarding the player $5 for each passenger. | As with the GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories renditions, these other Coaches can still hold a large number of passengers (7 in San Andreas), and may be seen stopping at designated bus stops in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas.

The GTA Advance rendition of the Coach, like the other Coaches, resembles a large, long bus, but visual details of the vehicle are vague due to the game's GTA 1-style top-down angle. It presumably shares the general design of the GTA III/GTA Liberty City Stories Coaches. | The GTA Advance rendition of the Coach, like the other Coaches, resembles a large, long bus, but visual details of the vehicle are vague due to the game's GTA 1-style top-down angle.

[[Image:Beta bus (GTA4).jpg|200px|thumb|The unnamed bus as depicted in the [[Higgins Helitours]] advertisement on television in GTA IV. The bus shares a likeness to the Coach from GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, but was not featured in the final build of GTA IV.]] | |||
A vehicle similar to the Coach may have been cut from [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] before release. A Coach is seen in a commercial about [[Higgins Helitours]] on GTA IV's in-game TV programming (immediately after the end of [[The Serrated Edge]]) but it is not available to ride or drive in the game. It looks similar to the GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories renditions. | |||
