    I traveled in this DD bus yesterday and one thing i found was that conductors don't allow standing passengers on the upper deck. You are allowed to go to the upper deck only if a seat is vacant.

      speed. Because I'm not the problem by any means, it's does creators that form after monsoon.
      Also the waterline in monsoon will be above its battery area, so need to see what that would be

    Woooww...This double decker bus is so modern. Full of tech....I have been in local buses in my city Bhubaneswar and it is good to have a ride, but this bus is really great.

    I took this bus for Heritage ride in April. My daughter liked it so much that the attendant were happy to watch and care her throughout the ride.
    Great suspension, good stability for the height, large tinted glasses with panoramic views, decent build quality and the good conditioned SoBo roads all made for that ₹150 per person 45 mins ride. The bus is silent inside, well maintained temperature, working cameras, crew was supportive. I liked this bus more than the Mumbai heritage buildings being announced on the way.

    Building the bus body is a craft and art work which will take sometime for Indian bus bodybuilders. The body works is not at par with that of European buses. Also while picking the color one needs to know that you have to pick the colors shade which is low on chromatic scale so that it doesn’t hit your eyes and senses. It’s not just about picking any color or red color but ensuring the color is not very bright to the eyes and picking color shed low on chromatic spectrum.

    Would have been nice if BEST had retained the blood red color. The one on this bus seems to have a faded shade that would soon look old ... even when new. As in London, BEST is best with the original red.

    This bus design has been making the Switch brand look really bad in the UK, no wonder their sales have been tanking. Nice to see that the Empire is still somewhat alive.
    Bit surprised that Optare/Switch has approved the use of their brand on a non-wheelchair accessible bus of which they probably didn't even design.
