Double-decker bus


A double-decker bus is a bus that has two levels. Double-decker buses are in common use in the United Kingdom, they can have between 60 and 80 passengers seated. They have become a symbolic image of the country in particular in London. They are between 9.5 and 10.9 meters in length (a blue whale does 3 double-decker bus). They are useful as a means of carrying large numbers of passengers without exceeding legal limits on vehicle length.

These buses participate in accidents of very high classes caused generally by a driver having the habit of driving a bus that has only one floor, so he passes under a low bridge, and

Up stairs, you have a beautiful view of London, and downstairs you have the same view then any ordinary bus.

The bus won’t stop without being warn: so once you pressed on a ‘stop bus’ button, the driver will know when he has to open the doors.

To travel in buses it’s necessary to have either an oyster card, or a ticket bought more expensively.

In the bus stop there can be an electronic panel that indicates when the next bus will arrive (how many minutes).
