Bus types refer to the features and amenities each model offers. Here you'll find the most common ones, but keep in mind: names and standards can vary depending on the bus company.

Standard

The simplest and most affordable option. Seat reclines a little. Good for short trips.

• Restroom: rare
• Outlet: varies
• Wi-Fi: rare
• TV: rare
• Snack, water, blanket, pillow: not included

Executive

More comfortable seat, reclines more, with extra legroom.

• Restroom: yes, in most cases
• Outlet: yes
• Wi-Fi: sometimes
• TV: sometimes
• Snack, water, blanket, pillow: usually not included

Semi-Sleeper

A step up from Executive. Wider, softer seat, reclines much more, more space between rows. Good for longer trips.

• Restroom: yes
• Outlet: yes
• Wi-Fi: sometimes
• TV: sometimes
• Snack/water: sometimes, something simple
• Blanket/pillow: sometimes, more common on overnight trips

Sleeper

Seat reclines almost flat, with plenty of legroom and neck support. Ideal for those traveling overnight who want to actually sleep.

• Restroom: yes
• Outlet: yes
• Wi-Fi: common
• TV: common
• Snack/water: yes, usually included
• Blanket/pillow: yes, almost always provided

Bed (also called "Sleeper Bed")

The highest comfort level among the official types. Seat reclines almost completely, nearly like a bed, with fewer rows on the bus, meaning more space per passenger.

• Restroom: yes
• Outlet: yes
• Wi-Fi: common
• TV: common
• Snack/water: yes, more complete service
• Blanket/pillow: yes, practically guaranteed

Other names you might come across

These terms aren't standardized, their meaning can change from company to company. But it's good to know what they usually mean:

• CONV AR: this is the Standard bus, but with air conditioning guaranteed (some companies use simpler buses with just windows, no A/C).
• AC: just means Air Conditioning. It's not a bus type, just a tag confirming that bus has air conditioning.
• GTV EXE: an "upgraded" Executive, slightly wider seat, reclines a bit more than a regular Executive, but still not at Semi-Sleeper level.
• Sleeper Cabin: the top option we offer. The seat sits inside a kind of enclosed compartment for extra privacy, similar to an airline business class. Fully reclining, with reading light and individual outlet. For those who want maximum comfort on long trips.
• Double Decker (DD): a two-floor bus. The upper floor usually has Sleeper or Bed seats with a good view; the lower floor may have a different seat type. It's worth checking what each floor offers before buying.

Women's Space

Some bus companies offer a Women's Space on board, which are seats reserved exclusively for women. These seats are marked by color, usually lilac or pink.

Since this varies by company, we can't guarantee seat availability in this format.

Individual seats

In some higher categories (Sleeper, Bed, Sleeper Cabin), we offer individual seats with no one next to you. Good for those who want extra space and privacy.

What if my trip's bus type has a different name?

If your trip's bus type has a different name, it's likely a variation of the types mentioned above. We recommend contacting the bus company to check all the amenities that will be offered on your trip.

We don't have information guaranteeing outlets to charge your phone, Wi-Fi, or restrooms, for example. Only the bus company can clarify these questions.

The icons representing bus types in our system are illustrative. Features like seat recline may vary depending on the bus company.
