In GTA 1, the Coach appears to be a municipal bus and is always silver. Unlike the Coach in future games, this version has no special features and is of no real use. There is, however, a side mission involving the Coach, in which the player must stay above 50mph to stop a bomb from exploding - a reference to the movie ''[[wp:Speed (1994 film)|Speed]]''. | In GTA 1, the Coach appears to be a municipal bus and is always silver.

Coaches existing in the III era bare a very low pick-up speed due to their heavy weight and large size. In games such as [[GTA San Andreas]], steering wise, coaches struggle around curves with a sharp radius as the length is quite great making it virtually impossible to pass small towns safely such as [[Prickle Pine]] or [[Fort Carson]]. However, a positive aspect of the coach is that it can cope with multiple moderate crashes before destruction, making it quite a sturdy vehicle. As well as this breaks react reasonably quickly for such a large vehicle. Due to low pick-up speed,the Coach would not be recommended for high wanted level escapes. | Coaches existing in the III era bare a very low pick-up speed due to their heavy weight and large size.
