Why no "bus cabin"?

[Jim Eh.]

Hmmm, my bus is my "cabin" with no grass to cut.

The way my bus issues have been going, I'm calling mine a "tent with wheels"

I drove my bus without an interior for 5 years.  We just used camping equipment while I concentrated​ on making all the mechanical repairs and upgrades.  We called it the "steel tent.". It was no cabin.

These days all the newer First Class and Executive Class buses south of the border have separate walled-off cabins for the passengers, separating them from the driver(s).   It makes it quieter inside, nice at night time, and you can't hear whatever noxious music the driver has on for his own entertainment.   Most folk there don't care about what's ahead or outside the bus  -  they just want to sleep, play on their cellphone, snog, eat, listen to noxious music, whatever, without outside distractions, even during the daytime.

So yes, some buses do have cabins.

I saw a Mexican Eagle at I44 Bus Sales in Missouri back in the nineties that was just like that with a separate "cabin" for the driver with a wall across behind the driver with a house-like door. The seated area had frilly curtains and shades. It was very much like an old style train car. It even had a sleeping area in the first baggage compartment with a window for the relief driver.

The bath room door pivots open on my bus such that it Cordens the bedroom and bathroom off from the rest of the coach. I call it Captains quarters but it could be thought of as a cabin. It's very cozy!
