ABSTRACT:
A double deck bus has a wide front entrance door and two rear exit doors, one from each deck. The upper deck is at selected standing headroom height from the lower deck, and at selected sitting headroom height from the vehicle roof. A channel passageway with selected standing headroom is provided lengthwise of the upper deck. A curved front stairway leads from the front entrance door to the front end of the upper deck passageway, and a descending stairway leads from the rear end of said passageway to one of the rear exit doors. The fare box is located within the curve of the front stairway to be visible to the driver, whose seat is well above the lower deck. An engine compartment is provided at the rear end of the bus, and a wall separates it from the lower deck passenger compartment. A passageway also is provided along the lower deck from the area of the fare box to the other rear exit door, and is offset laterally from the upper deck passageway so as to provide selected, standing headroom throughout its length.
