One coach is listed for sale in the UAE today, from a single supplier in Dubai. The supplier is not yet verified. Since there is only one listing, the price on it is the one to discuss, and there is no typical range to compare it with.
A coach is a passenger bus built for longer trips, with high-backed seats, luggage space and air conditioning, as opposed to a city bus with standing room. In the UAE contractors buy them to move workers between labour camps and project sites, and tour and school operators buy them for scheduled routes.
When you inspect one, count the seats against what you need to carry, test the air conditioning for a long run, and look at the floor and seat mounts for corrosion. Check the tyre condition and the service history of the engine and gearbox. If you want a different seating capacity, Post an inquiry. Other passenger vehicles are listed under vehicles and buses for sale.
Coaches range from minibuses of about 20 seats to full-size coaches of 50 or more. The seat count on the listing is the starting point, but confirm it on the registration card, because the seats that are fitted must match what the vehicle is registered to carry.
Drivers need a licence for the vehicle class, and passenger transport also carries its own operating rules. The seller can tell you how the coach is registered, but you should confirm requirements with the licensing authority before buying a coach you plan to run commercially.
Check the engine and gearbox for leaks, run the air conditioning for a sustained period, and examine the floor and seat anchorages for rust. Look at tyres, brakes and emergency exits, and ask for service records and the registration card.
It depends on the route and the numbers carried. One coach uses one driver and one fuel bill for the whole group, but it needs space to manoeuvre at camps and gates. Ask the supplier about fuel consumption and ask drivers who already run similar coaches.
