charabanc
Open excursion vehicle
A charabanc is an early type of motor coach used for excursions, with rows of forward-facing seats and often an open top.
The word is British and old-fashioned, evoking day trips and seaside outings from the early twentieth century: The factory workers piled into a charabanc for their annual outing to Brighton.
