Why did bi-level vehicles go out of style?
>>2069068Can't get a wheelchair up bus stairs
>>2069068Made obsolete by tri-levels
>>2069068people are lazy and nobody wants to go upstairs unless the bottom floor is filledbut if it's filled and you only need to go a couple stops you're baisically going upstairs and immediately downstairs so you're not filling the top floor either, you just sufferthey make sense on long routes, and double-decker trains are the next big thing (especially with the tons of space between the trucks that regular trains can't fill), but buses and trams are retarded>but long-haul buseslong-haul buses in general are retarded
>>2069068They only work for a very specific type of route (high-traffic feeder routes where the majority of passengers get off at a single stop). In all other routes, articulated vehicles just do the job better.
They were never popular in the U.S. but the “Broadway Battleship” was a notable exception.
Why do you think?

>>2069072thay's why you have the bottom floor
>>2070957Can't restrict wheelchairs to a part of a facility.>I wanna ride on top! Where's my ADA compliant elevator?
>>2071057i was on a commuter train once that just had ramps instead of stairs. also you can absolutely just say "nah wheelchairs physically don't fit here", if ADA rules made it so wheelchairs have to go everywhere then stairs wouldnt exist at all anymorealso buses already usually have a raised part at the back above the engine where wheelchairs can't go and no one shids and fards about that
