==Types== [[File:Inside a LACMTA 720 Bus on relatively low traffic (cropped).jpg|thumb|Interior of an [[articulated bus]] in [[Los Angeles]]]] 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. High-capacity [[bi-articulated bus]]es are also manufactured, and passenger-carrying trailers—either towed behind a rigid bus (a [[Trailer (vehicle)|bus trailer]]) or hauled as a trailer by a truck (a [[trailer bus]]). Smaller [[midibus]]es have a lower capacity and [[open-top bus]]es are typically used for leisure purposes. In many new fleets, particularly in local transit systems, a shift to [[low-floor bus]]es is occurring, primarily for easier accessibility. [[Coach (bus)|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 bus]]es 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 lane]]s. [[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.
