passenger coach

People-carrying railcar

A passenger coach is a railroad car or bus designed to carry travelers, as distinct from vehicles hauling freight or mail.

The term appears most often in railroad contexts, where it specifies cars fitted with seats for passengers: The train consisted of a locomotive, three passenger coaches, and a dining car.

In bus contexts, coach alone usually suffices.
