It is illegal to transport more children than the bus limits per the bus manufacturer's specifications. It is illegal to allow a child to stand while a bus is in motion if there is room for the child to sit. Madjid Murtazin Pundit. Do Greyhound buses have toilets? Yes, there are bathrooms on all Greyhound buses. They are located at the rear of the bus. They are pretty basic and only contain a toilet and hopefully some toilet paper.
There is no running water and the toilet doesn't even flush. Ewan Zuidwishk Teacher. How much does it cost to fill up a bus? A full size coach can hold gallons of fuel. Liubov Rosas Supporter. What size engine does a double decker bus have? Guifen Gladkih Supporter. How tall can a bus be? I would never attempt to drive any bus under an overpass less than 11 feet. Also the width is usually approximately 8 to 9 feet, again keeping in mind your mirrors add to your actuall width.
Bautista Borggrewe Supporter. When did London buses go cashless? Jovanny Piate Beginner. How much do London buses cost? London buses are all cashless, so you need an Oyster card, Travelcard or contactless payment. You can hop on unlimited buses or trams for free within one hour of touching in for your first journey.
Houcine Juice Beginner. Why are London buses red? The reason behind their colour dates to the early s, when the transport system was operated by different rival companies.
London General Omnibus Company or L. Lyubomyr Neuperger Beginner. Full-sized buses can, if required, carry a high proportion of standing passengers in greater comfort than small buses, which often have very limited headroom. Larger buses require less road space per passenger, and this can be particularly significant where road space is limited, as well as in depots, at bus stops and stations. Fewer large buses are required to carry the same number of passengers.
This will normally result in lower levels of atmospheric pollution, and easier management and control, particularly of scheduling. The number of personnel required to transport a given number of passengers will also normally be lower. Smaller vehicles are necessary on routes where road conditions inhibit the use of larger vehicles. This often applies when routes operate in high-density residential areas with very narrow streets.
Other constraints on the operation of larger vehicles may include low or weak bridges, or terminals and depots with restricted access, as well as legislation restricting vehicle dimensions. Smaller buses can provide a higher frequency of service for a given passenger flow, which can improve the convenience of the service. Passengers also often prefer small buses because they are faster and take less time to load. Small vehicles also make it possible to offer a greater number of route variations, without adversely affecting service frequency.
Size and operating speed The size of a vehicle can affect its operating speed in various ways. A small vehicle usually has better acceleration and maneuverability in traffic than a larger vehicle. Smaller size also means a smaller number of passengers boarding and alighting at each stop, so dwell times at stops will also be less. Speed of operation has an effect on system capacity. A vehicle that can achieve a higher average speed will be able to provide more passenger-kilometers than a slower vehicle with the same capacity, although vehicle performance is obviously affected by prevailing traffic speeds.
Bus size and traffic congestion Where passenger volumes are very high, the advantage of speed enjoyed by smaller vehicles is reduced or even negated by the congestion caused by large numbers of vehicles stopping simultaneously to pick up and set down passengers. In general, larger vehicles mean greater potential capacity for a transport system. When there is a mixture of capacities on one route, different operating speeds for different vehicle sizes results in irregular service — even if buses are dispatched from terminals at regular intervals.
Except where by virtue of their numbers they are a direct cause of congestion, small buses can be advantageous in severely congested conditions. They are more maneuverable than larger buses and may cause less congestion per passenger in moving traffic than bigger buses, especially if bigger buses are not full. Similarly, where the level of traffic discipline, particularly lane discipline, is poor, smaller and more maneuverable vehicles have an advantage. However, a very high service frequency may mean that there are often several vehicles running in convoy.
This can create significant congestion compared with a single large vehicle carrying the same number of passengers. When operated at very high frequencies small buses invariably cause more congestion at stops, by requiring more space. Small buses make wasteful use of road space. A seat minibus occupies nearly three times as much road space per passenger as a full-sized bus. Size and maintenance Small vehicles are mass produced in greater volume than large buses, and therefore capital costs per seat or passenger-place can be significantly lower.
Double-decker buses have been in operation since the turn of the s. However, the first motorised double-decker buses began operating after World War I. Primarily used in England and France, these buses were made in a variety of different styles. The double-decker bus became an icon with the Routemaster models used in London between the s and late s; their famed red livery became a common reference to London in popular culture.
Double-decker buses are still built by several manufacturers, including Van Hool and Alexander Dennis. Double-decker buses come in numerous sizes depending on model and manufacturer. Routemaster buses were 4. Though specifications vary from model to model, modern double-decker buses have similar dimensions, usually about 4.
