== Description ==

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.

Being essentially a charter bus, the Coach features a sleeker design and more spacious interior than the Bus. Even though they consistently 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 since GTA III sport liveries of [[Coach Companies|coach companies]].

Coaches throughout the Grand Theft Auto series feature similar performance traits. Like the [[Bus]], the Coach is one of the heaviest vehicle in the games, and is also one of the longest, resulting in a wider turning radius and poor maneuverability. While often bearing a very low pick-up speed due to their heavy weight and large size, Coaches can reach reasonably fast speeds and have decent braking. The Coach is also highly durable and has a distinctive ability to carry a large number of passengers. Owing to its vulnerability to gun fire from its size and poor road-going abilities, however, the Coach is not practical in chases while on higher wanted levels.

;GTA Vice City Stories

*Though there are bus stops everywhere in Vice City, Coaches are not seen picking up passengers. The only way to obtain this vehicle is to go to [[InterGlobal Films]]. Once [[Victor Vance]] gets on the bus, the mission [[Crash!]] is activated.

~~==Performance==~~

~~;GTA III - GTA Vice City Stories~~

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 [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|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.

~~;GTA IV~~

Coaches cannot be judged in terms of performance in the current games of the GTA 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]].
