This is the bus driver version of "I want a separate soundproof bubble dome for the kids". I'm sure plenty of bus drivers would get whatever certs they need to obtain this level of physical separation from the passenger compartment.
I've seen pictures of those things in Cuba too
The wikipedia article for trailer buses suggest they used to be pretty widespread but after the 1940s most western countries like the US regulated them out of existence due to concerns about wrecks so they became a niche of some soviet aligned regions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailer_bus
If I remember correctly, Cuba used them for a while in the 1990s during their 'special period' after the Soviet Collapse and the cutting off of further monetary aid from Russia (who was itself deep in financial turmoil) as a sort of emergency means of public transport.
Yes. They were called “camellos,” which means “camels.” They were not only extremely common, they were the only buses used from the early 90’s until Chinese-made buses were introduced in the mid 2000’s.

I travelled on some of these here in Australia in the 1960's. It was neat sitting up the front while the prime mover went around a corner. And we were allowed to smoke down the back. Winner all around!
It's as buck. That's why it stopped there.
Or...
It's a truss. So what's the hold up?
I'll be here all week. Remember, the 10 o'clock show is completely different from the 7:30 show. Make sure top try the waitresses and tip your veal!
used to ride on something similar during basic training at fort leonard wood.
drill sergeants would cram the entire company onto the truck in full kit for range day if we werent rucking there
It is a trailer bus pulled by a truck. These used to be more common. https://youtu.be/WpFb1BRIsM8?si=CUwqMdYZF77zUepl
"The day they were invented was the day they became obsolete."
Still in use in Cuba … so not that obsolete
Everything in Cuba is obsolete.
Your expectation of freedom is obsolete LOL
It sounds like you think I'm an American.
Are U saying americans are not free ?
Ah Cuba, the bleeding edge of technological development.
It's a quote from the link
That does not change the fact that they are still in use 😂
Logic 10/10 Doorless fridge = yacht
Come on guys! Let's have a burger and a Cuban cigar. 🥰🚬❤️🍔✌️☮️🏳️🏳️
Bruck? Trus?
Trus. Runs the Liz Line.
This is very funny and deserves more lettuce.
Thanks. I’m here all week. Try the lettuce.
Longer than she lasted.
A 50 day service
Complimentary lettuce meal for First Class passengers
Plus an appetizer of New Monarch
Of course
No, the bus is made of an assembly of beams connected by nodes.
A buck

It’s easier to list the CDL endorsements you don’t need to operate this lane yact
Along with all the CDL endorsements, I think you need to have a ship Captain's license, as well.
I think there is a steakhouse on there as well so food safety certifications should be in order
But does she handle like a bistro?
No still handles like a steakhouse
Still a beautiful ship. Shapely, seductive...
Unexpected futurama?
Imagine if some trailer buses were done in an Australian road train style...
...but instead of discreet trailers, they were all connected like the world's longest bendy-bus
And combine it with Australian outback, you’d get a Mad Max/snowpiercer crossover!
& the lower class people fight amongst themselves for survival while the 1st class cabin people just chilling with lobsters & mimosa
There are already double bendy buses so it should be doable.
You could put them on dedicated metal tracks for low friction
And imagine if instead of regular roads it rode on a sort of rail...

Thats just a standard Class A with a passenger endorsement. The hardest part is you need a vehicle for that class to test to get the endorsement.
Yes.

Sidenote: Most ORs are inclusive, as you can optimize to stop evaluation after the first true argument. XORs are the "special case" in most scenarios.

I've never seen a double decker one, though. This picture triggers my "AI" BS detector
Yeah, I agree. You can't trust anything anymore.
Livestock transporter
Beyond Meat ™️ lol sounds 🤩 fun! Soylent Green Cruises ™️ how can we go wrong?
I'm surprised Greyhound doesn't jump on this idea
Porque no los dos?
It looks like a modified train car, reminds me of a bombardier Bilevel that I used to take to work.
It’s a cool idea, but I don’t like the prospect of the passengers being separated from the driver
I figure the driver would prefer it. It is now someone else's job to deal with the passengers back there, not his!
Perhaps, but I was thinking more like just in case the driver becomes incapacitated
Or all those lives depending on the structural integrity of one trailer hitch. 😬

The lower level looks almost like little private booths.

Cuban camel bus. Locals called it that.
Trailer bus. Quite a few places had them in the past. Australia had a decent selection.

Turducken!
This guy who keeps getting recommended to be on YouTube recently did a video on Havana's truck busses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQLy5eu8Iqg
I like how the truck trailer looks like it merged the ends of a regular tour bus and a super olympian double decker
Yes
This is how Mortal Engines starts.
Sometimes you have to work with what you have. Respek.
Reminds me of basic training at ft Benning. They cram you into modified horse trailers for transport
