Coach holds on for more money (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bonus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'more money' is the definition.
'bonus' can be an answer for 'money' (I have seen 'extra money' mean 'bonus' so perhaps 'money' could also mean 'bonus'). I am not certain of the 'more' bit.

'coach holds on' is the wordplay.
'coach' becomes 'bus' (synonyms).
'holds' is an insertion indicator.
'bus' enclosing 'on' is 'BONUS'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bonus that I've seen before include "Sum added to salary for good performance" , "Added extra" , "Additional award" , "Premium" , "bribe" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
