Types of Double Decker Buses

Enclosed tour and commuter double deckers — such as the Van Hool TD925 and Volvo B7 — are fully climate-controlled, seat 70–90+ passengers, and are used for corporate commuter programs, university transit, and charter services.

Open top double deckers are the standard vehicle for hop-on hop-off sightseeing, brewery tours, and stadium event transport.

Vintage and converted double deckers — including Routemasters, Leyland Olympians, and Guy Arabs — attract collectors, heritage tour operators, event companies, and entrepreneurs building mobile bars and branded activation vehicles.

FAQs

What is a double-decker bus?

A double-decker bus is a two-tiered vehicle designed to maximize passenger capacity within a standard bus footprint. They are iconic worldwide for transit and sightseeing. Our inventory includes a wide variety of these vehicles, ranging from open-top tour buses and luxury enclosed coaches with seating for over 80 passengers, to fully restored vintage models and spectacular custom conversions like mobile restaurants and lounges.

How tall are double-decker buses?

A critical factor when operating these vehicles is knowing their height. Most modern double-decker coaches used in North America, such as the Van Hool TD925, are engineered to clear standard highway overpasses and typically measure between 13 feet and 13 feet 6 inches tall. Always verify your local route clearances and the exact specifications of the bus you intend to purchase.

How much does a double-decker bus weigh?

The weight varies significantly depending on the manufacturer, model, and whether the bus is fully loaded with passengers. A typical modern luxury double-decker coach can have a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) between 50,000 to 54,000 pounds. Vintage models like a classic Leyland or Routemaster will differ.

How fast can a double-decker bus go?

Modern luxury double-deckers, equipped with powerful commercial diesel engines like Cummins, are fully capable of safely maintaining standard highway speeds of 65 to 75 mph. However, vintage or antique double-deckers were designed specifically for dense city transit and have much lower top speeds, typically cruising around 40 to 50 mph.

Are double-decker buses legal and safe in the U.S.?

Yes, double-decker buses are completely legal and safe to operate in the United States. Modern coaches are specifically built to meet all strict U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) safety standards and often include advanced safety features. Imported vintage models are also legal but require careful route planning for bridge clearances and weight limits.

What are the Features & Amenities onboard a double-decker bus?

Our inventory features a diverse range of amenities depending on the model's purpose. Luxury enclosed coaches often include panoramic glass roofs, ADA-accessible features, premium leather seating, Wi-Fi, and rear restrooms. Sightseeing models feature open-top designs for unobstructed views. We also carry unique custom conversions outfitted as high-end cocktail lounges.
