A speeder bus in the skies of Coruscant
A sizable repulsorlift powered vehicle designed for transporting groups of individuals was known as a speeder bus, hoverbus, or simply a bus. For transportation to their grav-ball games, the AppSci SaberCats team, representing the Junior Academy of Applied Sciences located on Lothal, utilized a speeder bus.
The Util-313 speeder bus, a product of GoCorp, was an air-based transport spanning eighteen meters in length. It was engineered for navigating through cities and was a favored mode of transport for Galactic Republic senators, prominent military figures, and members of the Jedi Order. This shuttle bus featured gullwing doors on both sides and transparisteel windows encircling the vehicle, providing passengers with unobstructed 360-degree views. Due to the GoCorp airbus's lack of armament, the Galactic Senate dispatched fighter escorts to accompany buses carrying important officials on Coruscant, ensuring their protection.
Sometime prior to the Galactic Civil War, Okadiah Garson, a resident of the planet Gorse, possessed a Mark Six Smoothride hoverbus. He permitted his acquaintance, Kanan Jarrus, to employ it for ferrying passengers from the Moonglow facilities to the various bars situated in the Pits area of Gorse.
Aspiring cadets seeking enrollment in the Galactic Empire's Imperial Academies frequently arrived at their respective planet's academy via hoverbus transportation.
