@ipg i wonder why you never get double decker buses outside the uk
they're so good..@alice
@mossfet @ipg I saw one today! though a tourist one
@alice wow@ipg
@mossfet They're quite common in Berlin too.
@feliz @mossfet
@feliz Sorry, that is the current one:
@mossfet
@carl @feliz this is the greatest bus i've ever seen
@mossfet Only to look at :-) very noisy and diesel-stinky We got the first electric busses in Berlin now@feliz
@carl @feliz @mossfet Bus designer Jenkins had to think fast when he realised he’d forgotten to leave room for the engine.
@mossfet @ipg @alice Most buses in Ireland are also double-decker ( Dublin Bus periodically tries articulated buses, then drops them when they get stuck on roundabouts). Articulated are arguably better if your roads can take them.
@mossfet @ipg @alice we have some in Sydney on particular express routes
@mossfet @ipg @alice 🅱️Line
@s0 @ipg around here, if they want an express they just use an articulated bus
which gets me thinking…
articulated double-decker? :blobcatthinkOwO:
@vy @ipg we also have plenty of articulated ones. Double decker is used for that route because some roads can’t accommodate articulated.
