The next time Disney purchases a fleet of busses?

[Figment632]

I don't know how old some of these busses are and I don't know if they are legal in Florida but would a fleet of double decker busses work for WDW transportation problems?

If you could that would be double the people you can take on one trip. One of the only problems I could think of would be passing under theaquaduct to get to MK.

What do you think?

More than double the loading time too. Slower speeds due to more unstable. Those busses work fine on slow city streets, not on high speed routes like you would see at WDW.

I agree. With double deckers, the waiting time would be greatly affected resort and park-wide. You also have to make sure they are ADA-accessible.

Well if not double decker what about those double long busses that are like two busses in one.

I could see those being a viable option, however each bus terminal across property would need to be lengthened or reconstructed to accomodate the extra length. That could be cost prohibitive.

They had some of those on trial in the 90s. They didnt work out very well and were abandoned.

There is also the problem that there are a number of places where their height will be an issue as well.

I see double decker buses running from DC to NY traveling 65mph + all the time... I agree though that load/unload times would increase.

Then maybe the answer isn't bigger busses but just a lot more of them.
