Wi-Fi
Every 56-passenger coach comes standard with high-speed 4G/5G Wi-Fi supporting up to 30 devices simultaneously—perfect for business travelers heading to downtown meetings, students on academic trips to Drake University, or sports fans streaming highlights en route to Wells Fargo Arena.

Onboard Restrooms
Each 56-passenger charter bus includes a full-size onboard restroom located mid-cabin, equipped with a hands-free toilet, stainless steel sink, and automatic sanitizer dispenser. This amenity is essential for longer trips—such as school excursions to Adventureland, sports team travel to out-of-town games, or corporate shuttles between Des Moines and Iowa City—reducing unscheduled stops and keeping your itinerary on track.

Onboard TVs
Flat-screen HD monitors are mounted throughout the cabin (typically 4–6 per coach), each with HDMI and DVD inputs. Groups can screen training videos, play movies for entertainment, or connect a laptop for presentations. This feature is popular for youth sports teams, corporate groups, and event attendees traveling to venues like Hy-Vee Hall or Principal Park.

Power Outlets
Each row of seating is equipped with 110V AC power outlets and USB-A/C ports. Passengers can charge laptops, tablets, and smartphones during the trip, ensuring devices remain powered for work or entertainment. This is especially useful for business travelers and students heading to destinations across Des Moines.

Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced HVAC systems maintain a consistent temperature throughout the cabin year-round. Individual air vents above each seat allow passengers to adjust airflow for personal comfort. Whether it’s a hot summer day or a cold winter evening, the cabin stays comfortable from departure to arrival.

Leather Seating
Ergonomically designed seats with optional leather upholstery provide a comfortable ride for all passengers. High-back seats recline, have adjustable headrests, and include fold-down armrests. The seating arrangement allows large groups to travel together comfortably, making it ideal for conferences, weddings, and athletic events.

Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Carry-on bags can be stored in spacious overhead compartments inside the cabin. Larger items, such as luggage, sports equipment, or presentation materials, can be placed in undercarriage bays accessible from outside the bus. There’s ample storage for baggage on airport transfers, multi-day tours, and team travel.
