Why Do We Call These Buses “luxurious Buses”? (PHOTOS) by AutoJoshNG: 3:21pm On Jun 21, 2019 |
One of the most popular buses used for interstate journeys in Nigeria are buses confusedly referred to as “luxury” or “luxurious” buses. Indeed, this bus type is typically designed to be luxurious. They offer some kind of comfort or luxury to passengers. Well, as they age, they lose most of their "luxury". At that stage of dereliction, can we still call them luxury or luxurious buses? Definitely not. The appropriate name for this model of the bus is “Coach Bus”. Coach buses are designed for longer-distance service. This is in contrast to transit buses - or mini-buses. Though they are used for several purposes, in Nigeria, Coach Buses are mostly used for interstate journeys, etc..

Those days when we were kids, We couldn't wait for Xmas to travel down to the village in these buses. The days of; Young Shall Grow. Ekenedilichukwu. Izuchukwu. Chisco Motors. Abc; Abc was premium though. You fit buy 2 seats for 3/4 children. Coming back na serious business. We go pack garri, palm oil, oranges, dried abacha, aki, okazi, unpeeled egusi...etc. Them go load am under. On how people dey come down, you go dey peep from the window closest to the booth containing your load, make person no carry your fortune japaa. Small buses start to roll out, not even hummer buses at first. Them go come say them no dey carry load, na only one small box. Ndi ala. Anyway, I think you get the main "luxury" in those ones that go cross-country. 341 Likes 18 Shares |

it's Nigerian English..respect it . Americans and Aussies would have adopted the name instead of coach bus if they were the ones calling it that name. I find it appalling that my friends tried to correct me when I say 'go-slow'(traffic jam) or off-head...those expressions are Nigerian brand of English 84 Likes 7 Shares |

There's an inscription 'luxury' on my Secondary School big bus back in those days. The inscription was actually from the manufacturer. So I believed then and till this day that the 'luxurious bus' name was gotten from there. 1 Like |
