Nightliners are coaches that are rented by tour- and concert promoters to transport a singer, band or otherwise artistically active star from one place to another. Usually the bus transfer takes place at night, consequently nightliners are equipped. Other than conventional coaches, nightliners have beds for most of their prominent passengers. Also the rest of the furnishing is luxury. Many nightliners have the newest multimedia technology on board, starting with large LED- or plasma TVs, newest gaming consoles and the best and biggest hi-fi equipment available for omnibuses. Also modern nightliners have fully equipped kitchens, from fully automated coffee machine to microwave.?
Technically nightliners do not differ from usual coaches. The buses are produced by the large manufacturers without interior, meaning with almost identical coachwork and same engines, brakes and other parts needed for fluently operation. Afterwards the nightliners are equipped after the customized wishes and needs. Prime cost for one especially equipped nightliner can easily increase up to 1,2 million Euro.?
Modern nightliners are scaled into four categories by equipment and interior:
- Castliner,
- Crewbus,
