It can seat more than 10 anil it has room for many more standing passengers than the usual single-dec'ker rigid chassis type. Fittings arc kept to essentials and anything approaching luxury has been severely cut out. The width of the bus exceeds the regulation limit of 7ft (sins by an extra six inches and the overall length is '33ft Gins* It is the first time that buses of this type have been permitted for passenger transport on British roads, and now a number of* them are on the way.
