Like the [[Bus]], the Coach is one of the heaviest vehicle in the games, and is also probably the longest, giving it a very wide turning radius. It is reasonably fast for its size and has decent brakes. It's also highly durable and has a distinctive ability to carry a large number of passengers. Being essentially a charter bus, the Coach features a sleeker design and more spacious interior than the Bus. Even though they consistantly exist in virtually almost every metropolitan city, the coaches are usually rare to be found; both in driving and parked up in the game. Coaches are supported by various in-game [[Coach Companies]] throught all GTA's which are advertised on the side of the vehicle.

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]]''.

=== GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories ===
The GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories renditions of the Coach are essentially older versions of the GTA III Coach, similar to 1990s MCI coach models like the 102-B3, with the doors moved. These buses have a more boxy design, with colored stripes running along the sides.  Other design aspects of the vehicle are unchanged from its "future" version. The GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories renditions feature slightly higher front bumpers than the GTA San Andreas rendition, a problem likely stemmed from a programming error. 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. 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 [[Money|$]]5 for each passenger.

Coaches cannot be judged in terms of performance in the current games of the IV era due to the fact that they are not obtainable for gameplay use, as stated in one the previous sections. However the performance can be determined by a similar functioning vehicle, the [[Bus]].
