Raise the rear part of the roof to match the front, and you might have a usable shell.  Then add some slideouts on each side, and maybe even a popup roof above the second story.

All that is is a giant 5th wheel trailer being pulled by a designer cab.  If you'll notice, it is electric-so you'd waste half your space for the big extension cord reel.  LOL.  Good Luck, TomC

The spool for the cable tv would take up a lot of space too lol.

Heck - would be hard to see around VW Beetles with that thing, as low as the operator sits.

That's what I was thinking RJ. The driver sits really low for that long of a vehicle. That is one thing I really really really like about the RTS is because I sit so high and can actually see down the road.

Well, there may be a way to sit higher.  http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/02/china-to-build-ginormous-buses-that-cars-can-drive-under-video/ (http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/02/china-to-build-ginormous-buses-that-cars-can-drive-under-video/)

Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I've heard that one.

The other two we hear (about us) on the CB all the time is "He'll be the first one to an accident" and "If he hits a deer he's a gonner..." (Don't forget to hear those in appropriate truck-driver southern drawl, even if the driver hails from Pennsylvania.)  I don't know why they think we can't hear them.

What I noticed is that it's a computer graphic.  While the rendering is good, the perspective angle is off, so it's an impossible view.  Also, no catenaries are in the shot, even though there are trolly poles coming off the bus.

That could explain why it's just sitting there . . .  ;)

I wonder what the insurance would be on it, likely enough to buy a REAL bus with "character".

Shhurleee is Purrrdee tho.  :D
