Should "Coach" really go here instead of Coach (disambiguation), given all the other uses? Bayerischermann 00:26, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm with you on this; Coach (vehicle) redirects here, it should be the article title with Coach being a disambiguation page. There is a ton of articles that incorrectly link to this page as it stands now.--Lordkinbote 17:32, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Nobody here is saying that sports coaches are the only kind of coach; we're just talking about moving the disambiguation page here so people can find the meaning they're looking for. Kafziel 16:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Precisely my point.  I'm not saying that sports coaches are the only kind of coach.  I'm just saying that for me, that's the first definition that comes to mind, rather than this one.  I'm just saying with so many different uses of the term, that the "main" title should carry the dab page rather than any one of the various uses.  Basically just a little organizational change.

thread_title: Survey

message: Should this article not primarily be about the vehicle not about scheduled services that use this sort of vehicle. There is surely enough content to populate an article about the history of the vehicle, details of manufacturers of the vehicle, typels of vehicle, also their environmental performance etc etc. I would propose to pull out the information about scheduled coach services into a separate article. PeterEastern (talk) 23:39, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I am now starting to rework the article to focus it on the vehicle itelf. I have also proposed a split for the section discussing scheduled transport (see section below). There is still a lot more history and content still to add to the article and it needs work to ensure that a global perspective is reached. It should include details of the distinctive vehicles used in countries such as India and the Philippines to name but two.PeterEastern (talk) 09:37, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scope of article 

message: I am proposing a new article to discuss the various forms of scheduled transport using motorcoaches over time and currently to allow this article to focus on the vehicle itself (see above).PeterEastern (talk) 09:37, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I would support it as long as it is going to be a global (World Wide view) article (Coach (scheduled transport)) rather then the current Americanised section that currently exists in this article. Bidgee (talk) 10:03, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Very much so. It may be hard to achieve but will not be of much value if it isn't. We should however accept that initially it will contain details of only a few countries and will need to tagged as being 'non-representative' or whatever. The details of coach travel for each country can be covered by suitable articles for that country as we have done with Coach transport in the United Kingdom (which I have been working on in the past week of two). My main motivation currently is to create a focused world-wide article for the vehicle itself, however I am also happy to put some effort into the proposed 'Coach (scheduled transport)' article to get it off in the right direction. This is on the assumption that we agree on the move and the title and scope of the new article. Possibly we create a stub article for 'Coach transport in the United States' with the bulk of the existing content put into that article. PeterEastern (talk) 14:10, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The split has now been completed. The new article still doesn't provide a world view and I will tag it appropriately. PeterEastern (talk) 21:58, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Split 'Coach (Scheduled transport)'

message: Now looking the pictures in the article, isn't this 'coach' essentially a bus? I would definitely say yes. But, if this has/will have an own article, there should be a clear explanation of the difference of bus and coach. Maybe a part of dictionary entry could be here. 85.217.42.69 (talk) 11:35, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added further clarification to the lead with a wlink to the bus article. I believe the different design elements and purpose makes it a valid subject for a separate article. PeterEastern (talk) 12:55, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: More appropriately termed "Motor Coach", as in "Motor Vehicle".  It comes out of the category of buses, and so is a type of bus. - KitchM (talk) 04:44, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

message: There needs to be some explanation of the drive train used in motor coaches. - KitchM (talk) 04:40, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Drive Train 

message: Strongly oppose  I'm saying no for a couple of reasons.  The main bus article effectively serves as a disambiguation article, listing all types of buses; this is one of them.  Going off of a couple of sections of the talk page here, there has been a movement over the years clearly focusing on the direction of what the page title means, largely eliminating any confusion.   
Merging this into the main bus article proves no bus article proves no real purpose, only eliminating content more effectively explained here. (granted, this article is in need of attention)  --SteveCof00 (talk) 11:52, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
