What are the differences between the types of buses?

Currently, there are several types of nomenclature for the types of buses. These types define the features and comfort offered.

We will list the most common ones, but we emphasize that the names and characteristics may vary according to each vehicle:

• Conventional (acronym CONV): this is the simplest type and has the lowest cost. Usually their seats are padded and allow a slight inclination. Some have air conditioning and a bathroom;
• Conventional with air conditioning (acronym CONV AR, AC): option very similar to the conventional one with the inclusion of air conditioning;
• Executive (abbreviations EXE, GTV EXE): they have air conditioning, padded armchairs, median inclination and pressurized bathroom. Some vehicles offer mineral water, DVD with movies and wi-fi.
• Semi-bed: Some bus companies categorize them as Executives. They have widely reclining armchairs, greater space and comfort. They have air conditioning and a bathroom. Some bus companies offer water, sanitized blankets and pillows.
• Bed: they have air conditioning, armchairs with more space, leg rest, TV and DVD players and a wide inclination. Most vehicles offer mineral water, sanitized blankets and pillows.
• Bed-bed: has the same characteristics as the bed bus, with additional adjustable footrests and an armchair with an inclination equal to a bed.

There are also double-decker buses (DD), which can have two types of modes in a single bus (for example, sleeper on the upper floor and executive on the lower floor).

If the type of bus on your trip has another nomenclature, it is probably a variation of the types mentioned above. We recommend that you contact the bus company to verify all the amenities that will be offered on your travel.

We do not have information about the availability of outlets and wi-fi, for example. The responsible bus company will be able to clarify all these doubts.
