Stop thinking you communist little shit! Need to stop buses so can sell more crrrs!

Now to make them really mad, think about how clean the air, how silent the streets were if we ONLY had buses. How technologically interesting they would be, with hepa filters so people dont get sick and have less argument for individual cars.

Because thats not how it works at all, Busses are much wider than cars.

For now. Cars keep getting wider year over year until they hit legal limits.

ford coming out with a 2-seater "bus" so they can release a truck that's 14 feet off the ground and gets 4 gallons a mile

In case anybody’s curious, buses are generally much wider than cars (my local buses are 8’6”, compared to the 6’6” Honda Odyssey); their seats are also narrower and the walls thinner, which adds up to a lot of interior space.

Yeah, but how wide is a bus compared to a Sebring?

This one's a witch! Burn them!

Two feet wider, but at least they don't need to park in conventional spots. Except shit like Escalades exist, which are close to 8' and are impossible to see around when I'm trying to back out of a spot.

I always love when I'm stuck between two small-penis-mobile trucks in a parking space.

It's why when I do drive, I drive a compact. I can't imagine trying to get out of a car or into one with two of those monstrosities around me.

I drive a small truck (Santa Cruz) and I always have to chuckle about how mine looks like a hot wheels car next to the lifted monstrosities around here.

They also have vertical walls instead of curved because maximizing interior space is more important than aerodynamics for them.

I also feel dumb now because of this child I've never met.

But now I'm flashbacking to being on a schoolbus and holy fuck those walls are thin.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago (1 children)

those walls are thin.

I’ve seen pictures of buses that accidentally fall off a steep road or cliff and basically fold like a flattened cardboard box.
