Each seating row on the 56-passenger bus includes 110V power outlets and USB ports, allowing passengers to charge phones, tablets, and laptops during the trip. Staying powered up is essential for business travelers, students, and anyone needing to use electronic devices on the road.

Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
The advanced HVAC system on our 56-passenger buses keeps the cabin comfortable year-round, with powerful air conditioning for humid Midwest summers and efficient heating for winter months. Individual air vents above each seat allow passengers to adjust airflow to their preference. The system maintains a consistent temperature throughout the coach, ensuring comfort regardless of the weather outside.

Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Storage is never an issue with our 56-passenger buses, which include large overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for backpacks and small bags, plus spacious undercarriage bays for luggage, equipment cases, or coolers. Sports teams, wedding parties, and convention groups can bring all their gear without crowding the aisle. Loading and unloading are quick and efficient at every stop.
