A modern double deck bus has a fuel capacity of 275 litres and Ad Blue capacity of 30 litres (taken from the Alexander Dennis E400 spec). Assuming a bus uses around 10mpg of fuel, the range would be around 600 miles.
It depends on the vehicle's gas tank size and fuel economy. If a school bus had an 80-gallon tank and operated with a fuel economy of about 6 miles per gallon, it could travel about 480 miles. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average school bus travels 12,000 miles per year 4.
Modern double-decker buses typically have a seating capacity of around 70-90 people, with some larger models able to seat up to 120 passengers. This is split between the lower deck, which has most of the seats, and the upper deck which features fewer seats but provides more standing room.
On average, a standard double-decker bus in the UK can seat between 60 to 90 passengers, with seating arrangements that typically include both upper and lower decks. However, some double-decker buses in the UK can have even more seating capacity, with some larger models accommodating up to 120 passengers or more.
Executive buses average 6 miles per gallon, especially when it comes to larger models that carry 45 to 51 passengers. Newer, high-tech models may get up to 10 to 12 miles per gallon. The larger the bus, the lower the average mileage.
The average fuel tank capacity for cars is 50–60 L (12–16 US gal). The most common materials for fuel tanks are metal or plastic. Metal (steel or aluminium) fuel tanks are usually built by welding stamped sheetmetal parts together.
Due to the high operating cost, cumbersome transportation and high fuel consumption, the BEST administration stopped inducting double-decker buses after 2008. The move to decommission these buses is in accordance with government policy as the vehicles have reached their legal life of 15 years.
A typical passenger car carrying one person gets 25 passenger miles per gallon, while a conventional bus at its capacity of 70 (seated and standing) gets 163 passenger miles per gallon. These fuel savings yield commensurate cuts in CO2 emissions.
“A typical passenger car carrying one person gets 25 passenger miles per gallon, while a conventional bus at its capacity of 70 (seated and standing) gets 163 passenger miles per gallon.” So the claim : A full bus (70 people) is 6.5 times more fuel efficient then a car.
Not only can passengers fall off after the vehicle collides into something, but they can get hit from the ensuing debris. Five years ago, a tour bus crashed into a traffic light pole and injured 14 people in the process. There are plenty of more ways passengers can receive injuries here compared to a regular bus.
