Double Decker Articulated Buses

[jdrcrasher]

I couldn't believe it when I first saw it. They're the world's largest buses, and believe it or not, they've been around since the the 70's. German manufacturer Neoplan built several of these "Jumbocruisers", and they hold 170 passengers.

Imagine taking one of these to Las Vegas.

Unfortunately, they stopped production of these in 1992. But maybe someday they'll become viable again.




Here are some other photos of them:

Only problem is that access between the two articulated sections through the bellow is only via the upper level, which puts the articulated joint somewhere in the middle, unlike the bottom like our single level articulated NABI 60BRTs.

Not in the U.S. The American Neoplan company folded in 2005.
