Onboard Restrooms
Cut down on unnecessary stops and keep your trip running on schedule with an onboard restroom located at the rear of the bus. Each restroom includes a toilet, hand sanitizer dispenser, and ventilation fan for comfort and convenience. While compact, this facility is ideal for longer trips out of Alameda—such as wine tours to Napa Valley or corporate outings to Silicon Valley—helping everyone stay comfortable between destinations. Please note that sinks are not standard; we recommend bringing additional hand sanitizer or sanitizing wipes for extended journeys.
Onboard TVs
Entertainment comes standard thanks to multiple flat-screen monitors mounted throughout the cabin—including a large front display visible from every seat. Connect a DVD player, laptop, or media device via HDMI/VGA inputs to share movies, presentations, or video content with your entire group. Whether it’s a corporate training video for employees heading to a meeting in downtown Oakland or a kids’ movie for school trips to the Alameda Museum, onboard screens help make the journey feel shorter and more enjoyable.
Power Outlets
Keep devices fully charged with dual USB ports and 110V power outlets available at every row of seats. Perfect for powering smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronics without fighting over limited plugs. Staying charged means staying connected—whether you’re sending emails before a big meeting in San Francisco’s Financial District or letting kids watch movies on a tablet during a family outing to Crab Cove. No more dead batteries when you arrive at your destination.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Stay comfortable year-round thanks to a powerful HVAC system capable of handling hot summers and cool winters alike. Individual air vents above each seat allow passengers to adjust airflow to their liking, while tinted windows help block out harsh sunlight during afternoon drives along Shore Line Drive or over the Fruitvale Bridge. From foggy mornings in the East Bay to heat waves rolling through Contra Costa County, everyone stays cool and comfortable from pickup to drop-off.
Leather Seating
Enjoy the ride in plush, reclining seats upholstered in soft leatherette material that’s both comfortable and easy to clean. High-back design offers plenty of support for longer trips out of Alameda—whether you’re heading up to Sacramento for a political rally or down to Santa Clara for a 49ers game at Levi’s Stadium—while padded armrests and adjustable headrests add extra comfort. There’s plenty of legroom between rows so passengers can stretch out and relax, making even the longest journeys feel short.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Bring everything you need thanks to ample storage space both inside and outside the cabin. Overhead compartments run the length of the interior, providing room for backpacks, purses, and small personal items. Larger bags, coolers, or equipment cases can be stowed in the rear cargo area or optional exterior luggage compartment, keeping aisles clear and ensuring easy access when you arrive. Perfect for hauling sports gear to fields in Alameda Point, musical instruments for gigs at local venues, or presentation materials for business events across the bay.
