The history of the appearance of the first gasoline-powered bus dates back to the 19th century. Since then, this type of mechanical transport has undergone significant changes and has gained great popularity in various areas of life. And this is not surprising - the bus is easy to use, roomy, and its modern models offer maximum comfort.

One of the most interesting models of this transport is the double-decker bus. At one time it was created to increase passenger capacity on London roads. Now such a bus is rarely used as urban transport, but it has found excellent use in the tourism sector.

The double-decker bus is designed mainly for the transport of seated passengers, but has the capacity for long distances. Those who sit on the top floor and have the opportunity to explore the surroundings enjoy a special advantage during excursions. Some vehicles have an open top, which is very popular with tourists, but not suitable for rainy days.

The advantages of a bus with two floors are obvious. It accommodates twice as many passengers as a regular one; has high maneuverability anddynamics; is highly attractive to tourists. There is a misconception that these buses are prone to rollover, but in fact, they are all equipped with an anti-rollover mechanism.

It is worth considering that a double-decker bus has a number of inconveniences. In particular, high maintenance costs, a high garage and route design that excludes power lines, low bridges and the proximity of trees.

Now double-decker buses are produced by several companies from different countries. Among them are the Swedish concern Volvo, the German company MAN and its subsidiary NEOMAN, as well as the German bus manufacturer Mersedes-Benz.

Travel companies willingly use the MAN bus for excursions. The Man Wagon Union model has large panoramic windows, a sliding roof, which allows you to view long distances in the warm season. This model is used exclusively as a tourist bus.

For a large group of passengers, the Man Jonckheere model is ideal. It has a capacity of 75 seats and is equipped with air conditioning, a microphone, a DVD system and a toilet.

Man Lion, s City DD has even more capacity for 85 passengers. This bus is the epitome of transport comfort. It provides places and ramps for the disabled, wide aisles, a spacious store with folding backs, two stairs. Moreover, the staircase on the back landing is designed so that you can go directly to the second floor, bypassing the first. Atbuses, three wide entrances and a low-floor first floor without steps. The height of this model is more than 4 meters, so the view from the second floor gives an amazing feeling. Driving a bus is pure pleasure - everything is aimed at reducing fatigue and distracting the driver. The work of the liner is “monitored” by a special computer program.

The double-decker bus is increasingly being introduced into the tourism sector, as it fully pays for its costs. Tourists always prefer a double decker for trips. In addition, it benefits from a large capacity.
