A tour bus service takes visitors sightseeing to various tourist attractions. Buses may be completely enclosed, open-top, or double-decker. Two of the biggest tour bus companies are City Sightseeing and Gray Line Worldwide. Typically tour buses are larger than regular transit buses and are used by tour operators, charters, and intercity bus lines.

According to the Center for National Truck and Bus Statistics, in 2007 more than 10% of all fatal bus accidents involved charter buses. Many factors may contribute to such accidents:

  • No legal license to operate bus
  • No seat belts
  • Roof that gives way and crushes victims inside due to weight of bus following a rollover
  • Large amounts of glass that can shatter and injure occupants
  • Large open space within which objects may fly and harm occupants
