Description Double-decker buses are designed for heavy passenger loads, carrying up to 100 seated passengers. This provides an economical advantage: more people can be carried for a similar operating cost to a single-level bus. While double-decker buses were operated with a two-member crew in the past, most modern buses are staffed by a single bus operator. The first level of the bus typically contains the bus operator’s cab and seating. A stairwell connects to the second level, which typically only contains seating. While the second floor of the bus is not accessible to the disabled, modern double-decker buses provide accessible seating on the first floor of the vehicle.
