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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
