| Interesting concept, but if there aren't wheels on the sides, it still can be a problem. |
Buses are not a way of life, they are life |

| I don't think the passengers would feel any safer, especially if they're dangling by the seatbelt straps! |

| Which bus manufacturer would want to invest in something like that? If IC did that I would stay far away from it! |

| Actually looks almost like it could be an ex-Boston bus, they ran a lot of Intl/Birds with specs like that. |

It is an International Blue-Bird looks like it could be from California. If you look closely, it has black warning light covers in the rear.

Not even close to CA specs. The bus has a front stop arm, standard headroom, extended bumper, etc. |

The top one doesn't even have a stop arm mounted to it! Its only mounted on the front of the bottom one. And no, it definatly is NOT CA specs, I agree it looks like it could be Boston or someplace from the northeast. |

| The top one does have a rear stop arm on the door side, watch the video, but it still doesnt look like California specs. |

| Stop arms can be moved, and warning lights can be painted around, but the biggest thing that is makes it unavoidably NOT a CA bus is that it does not have high headroom windows. |

| I have a hunch that having that other school bus strapped on top of it isn't CA spec either... |
IC the future, and it is bright. |

| lol, actually it is a new requirment. The seats from the top bus are removed, and makes way for SUPER high headroom. |
