These have the same height limitations as full size semis. So can fit anywhere they can.

They've been adopted in a few US cities already.
Dude...that's way taller than 13' 6".
I'm sure if they're routed carefully, they'd be fine, maybe even better than the double busses in use in many cities.

I want to see that fit under the underpasses in most US cities.

I don't know who made these but we are testing electric double decker buses.

Ah, Alexander Dennis as well.



Go Transit Super-Los have 3.9m height. 12.8ft for the metric challenged.

GO Transit has a lot of the diesel double deckers, I don't see them going full electric until the range is improved significantly.

If anything they should be electrifying their trains...

DD buses are up to 14', about the same as the average delivery box truck/ tractor drawn trailer that are found on most city streets. Federal Highway Administration lists 14' as the standard for local streets, higher for freeways.

Once upon a time, 13'6" was an almost universal max height. Looks like it's increased to 14' in many places. I had a Class A license (under a variety of name types and states...combination, combination A, chauffeur, chauffer A, Class 1, and onand on)for more than 30 years.
