Musician's road home
A tour bus is a large vehicle designed for transporting groups on sightseeing excursions or, more commonly, for musicians and performers traveling between concert venues.
Band tour buses typically include sleeping bunks, a lounge area, and basic amenities for life on the road: The band spent three months on the tour bus.
The term sometimes extends to any bus used for group travel with a guide.
