'''Whippet Express Coach''' is a coach company based in [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]] in [[1986]] and [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] from [[1998]] to [[2001]].

== Description ==
Whippet Express Coach is one of the eight coach companies in the Grand Theft Auto series and one of the three coach companies that operate in Vice City. Judging by the name of the company, it delivers passengers at a very fast rate and very quickly to their destination. Whippet Express Coach coaches are normally silver/grey coloured with two blue or red stipes running around it, along with signs depicting its name. Some of the buses don't have coloured stripes running around it. There is an undocumented and largely unknown bus driving minigame in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City: If the player hijacks a coach and stops at bus stops, pedestrians will board the bus. The player is awarded $5 for each passenger that they pick up. An easy way to make money is to leave the game running while stopped at a bus stop, and passengers will continue to board as they walk past.
