https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercity_bus_service

An intercity bus service (North American English) or intercity coach service (British English and Commonwealth English), also called a long-distance, express, over-the-road, commercial, long-haul, or highway bus or coach service, is a public transport service using coaches to carry passengers significant distances between different cities, towns, or other populated areas. Unlike a transit bus service, which has frequent stops throughout a city or town, an intercity bus service generally has a single stop at one location in or near a city, and travels long distances without stopping at all. Intercity bus services may be operated by government agencies or private industry, for profit and not for profit.[1] Intercity coach travel can serve areas or countries with no train services, or may be set up to compete with trains by providing a more flexible or cheaper alternative.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, Douglas! Express coach was an useful answer and I'll use it in other occasions, but in this case the bus stops several times during the trip, so I thought that "express" wouldn't suit much. Thanks again!
