The 56-passenger charter bus in Riverside

Distances in the Inland Empire make the coach's restroom and seats matter. Groups ride from Riverside to the coast, from San Bernardino to the desert, from Ontario to Los Angeles, and up to the mountains in winter.

The class runs about 45 feet with 49 to 56 reclining seats, a restroom, climate control, a PA system, outlets and WiFi on most units. Lift-equipped coaches are available on request.

Coaches handle the region's freeways well but not every destination. Some mountain roads and residential streets are too tight, and winter chain controls can apply on mountain highways. Operators plan the route and may adjust the vehicle.

Coaches quote against a five hour minimum. Build the itinerary, see one all-in price, e-sign and track the coach live.
