Bus Star-rating description

The first we want to note is that all buses are divided into 4 main categories:

city bus
suburban
intercity
international

The city bus moves within one settlement;
suburban bus go to trips up to 50 km beyond the city limits;
intercity bus moves to cities within the same country;
international bus are moves to long trips in other countries.

Touristic buses are of course more comfortable than city buses.

The last category interests us the most of all, because traveling is one of the most popular activities for modern people.

International class bus should be especially safety and comfortable.

All over the world the high demands are placed to tourist buses:

international-class buses should include:

air conditioning;
audio and video systems;
kitchen;
cloakroom;
bio-toilet;

Salons are equipped with:

individual light bulbs;
footrests;
folding tables on the backs of the seats;
The chairs should be comfortable and soft, have reclining backrests, the slope of which can be adjusted.

Do you know, that buses like hotels or restaurants have 5 star rating?

Let's try to figure it out.

As you know, the most important and basic difference is the distance between the seats. This is perhaps the main factor for obtaining stars, but there are other important components as well.
