The coach word seems more complicated and maybe only referring to some kind of buses. The term “Coach” should be avoided unless there are specific provisions for coaches (couldn’t find anything so far). For access restrictions for public transport buses, “public_bus” would have been clearer than just “bus”, but I don’t think osm is going to change this... For tourist_bus there might be a realistic (?) possibility to rename it to motorbus.
