But chartered coaches are in a different category from day tours and coach holidays. A day tour is a coach excursion organized by the coach operator, advertised by the coach operator, and the hope is that enough people will go on it that the operator makes a profit. A coach holiday is organized by the coach operator, advertised by the coach operator, and the hope is that enough people will go on it that the operator makes a profit. With a charter, you and some friends decide you want to go somewhere on a particular date, approach an operator and ask how much it would cost to be taken there. > These are tourist buses https://edinburghtour.com/ > > As an American, those are 'tour buses' and I'm fine if you want to > say, 'tourist buses'.

But I'd settle for either term being use to describe that type of thing and not some weird concept that we have now that is confusing everyone. > But I think that it's highly likely that none of us has a clue what the > original Italian poster was talking about, which is the cause of the confusion. > Indeed. All we can try to do is sort it all out. To do that, we need to know what we are talking about. I think we can ignore whatever it was the original poster intended.
