coach driver

Carriage steering professional

A coach driver is someone who drives a coach—a large passenger vehicle, whether the horse-drawn carriages of earlier centuries or modern motor coaches used for tours and long-distance travel.

The term appears more in British than American English, where bus driver covers most contexts: The coach driver pulled into the service station for a rest break.
