BusOrCoach

BusOrCoach is a Vehicle subtype for buses and coaches: city buses, tour coaches, school buses, minibuses, shuttle vans. It adds one property: acrissCode (the same rental classification code found on Car). All 39 Vehicle properties apply, including seatingCapacity, fuelType, and vehicleEngine.

For a complete property walkthrough, see the Vehicle example. Replace "@type": "Vehicle" with "@type": "BusOrCoach". Use seatingCapacity for passenger count and vehicleSpecialUsage if the bus is a rental or school vehicle.

  1. 01

    Using Vehicle for a bus listing

    Wrong
    "@type": "Vehicle" for a bus or coach
    Right
    "@type": "BusOrCoach"

    BusOrCoach is more specific than Vehicle and signals to search engines that this is a bus, not a car or truck. Use it for any passenger bus or coach listing.
