Buses come in various formats including single-decker, double-decker, articulated, and bi-articulated, with usage varying by country. Smaller midibuses have lower capacity while open-top buses are often used for leisure. Coaches are designed for longer distances with reclining seats, seat belts, toilets, and entertainment systems to operate at higher speeds. Guided buses can run in guideways for controlled stops taking up less space than conventional lanes. Buses can be manufactured integrally or with another company providing the chassis.

Formats include single-decker bus, double-decker bus (both usually with a rigid chassis)

and articulated bus (or 'bendy-bus') the prevalence of which varies from country to country. Bi-
articulated buses are also manufactured, and passenger-carrying trailerseither towed behind
a rigid bus (a bus trailer) or hauled as a trailer by a truck (a trailer bus). Smaller midibuses have a
lower capacity and open-top buses are typically used for leisure purposes. In many new fleets,
particularly in local transit systems, a shift to low-floor buses is occurring, primarily for easier
accessibility. Coaches are designed for longer-distance travel and are typically fitted with
individual high-backed reclining seats, seat belts, toilets, and audio-visual entertainment
systems, and can operate at higher speeds with more capacity for luggage. Coaches may be
single- or double-deckers, articulated, and often include a separate luggage compartment under
the passenger floor. Guided buses are fitted with technology to allow them to run in designated
guideways, allowing the controlled alignment at bus stops and less space taken up by guided
lanes than conventional roads or bus lanes.

Bus manufacturing may be by a single company (an integral manufacturer), or by one


manufacturer's building a bus body over a chassis produced by another manufacturer.
