Ideal for long-distance routes between Athens and cities like Savannah or Charlotte, this amenity is a lifesaver for school groups, wedding parties, and corporate travelers alike. The restroom includes a toilet, sink, and hand sanitizer dispenser, with ventilation to minimize odors and lighting for nighttime use. While not intended for extended use, it’s perfect for emergencies and quick convenience breaks when there’s no rest area in sight.
Onboard TVs
Keep your group entertained with multiple flat-screen TVs mounted throughout the cabin, each connected to a central DVD/Blu-ray player or HDMI input. Perfect for playing movies, training videos, or highlight reels during longer trips. There are monitors mounted in the front bulkhead and along the aisle that are easily visible from every seat. Plug in a laptop or media device to stream custom content, display a welcome message, or run a slideshow for your audience. Audio is routed through the bus’s PA system for clear sound at any volume.
Power Outlets
Never run out of battery on the road thanks to multiple power outlets and USB ports installed throughout the bus. Every row of seats has access to at least one 110V outlet and dual USB-A or USB-C ports, so passengers can charge phones, tablets, laptops, and other devices without sharing or waiting their turn. Outlets are conveniently located either on the side panels next to each seat or in the armrests between paired seats, depending on the bus model. This feature is especially popular with student groups, business travelers, and anyone who relies on electronics for entertainment or productivity during long trips.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter with a powerful climate control system that keeps the entire cabin comfortable regardless of the weather outside. Each bus is equipped with either a roof-mounted or rear-engine HVAC unit capable of maintaining a consistent temperature from front to back. Passengers can adjust airflow using individual air vents located above each seat, similar to those found on commercial airplanes. The system also includes a fresh-air intake and filtration component to reduce odors and improve overall air quality inside the bus. Large windows are tinted to block UV rays and help regulate interior temperatures while providing plenty of natural light and visibility.
Leather Seating
Ride in comfort and style with high-back seats upholstered in either leatherette or fabric, depending on the bus model and customer preference. Leatherette seats are durable, easy to clean, and give the interior a sleek, modern look, while fabric seats offer breathability and a softer feel. Each seat reclines for relaxation and features a contoured design with built-in lumbar support to reduce fatigue on long trips. Armrests fold up for easy boarding and exiting, and adjustable headrests provide additional neck support. Optional upgrades include two-tone upholstery, contrast stitching, and embroidered logos or branding for corporate clients and sports teams.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store personal belongings safely out of the way in overhead compartments that run the length of both sides of the cabin. These bins are large enough to hold backpacks, purses, jackets, and small duffel bags, and feature either sliding doors or open shelving depending on the bus model. Larger items such as suitcases, coolers, and equipment cases can be stowed in the underfloor luggage bays accessible from exterior doors on either side of the bus. The combined storage capacity is sufficient for all passengers to bring at least one carry-on and one checked bag, making these buses ideal for airport transfers and overnight trips. Additional storage options include rear parcel shelves and dedicated compartments for tools or emergency supplies.
