... interesting to see a prototype for what I've always regarded as being a quintessentially English innovation.
Hmm ... wonder how it'll "fare" ('scuse pun) in the Pinas.

What a rubbish design.
You'd think they'd at least get the windows to match up top and bottom.
Why don't they just buy a couple of secondhand ones from Hong Kong ?

I wonder if the jeepney drivers would have to be trained to drive this double decker bus?
Looks nothing like a jeepney btw.

There are plenty of big trucks on the roads in the Phils not much lower than a double-decker....just have to restrict routes slightly, which would be no probem for a vehicle aimed at tourists.

if double deckers were to take off there would be a lot of pissed off jeepney drivers thats for sure .big investment but would it pay ? all it would take is a pissed off jeepney driver and a petrol bomb and it would be all over.
