About Bus

Buses are the backbone of urban public transportation, moving millions of people daily across cities and countries. The first motorized bus appeared in 1895, and today’s models are engineered for efficiency and accessibility. One remarkable fact: the world’s longest bus route, from Brazil to Peru, spans over 6,200 km (3,850 mi) and takes more than 100 hours to complete.

Size Overview

A standard city bus stands about 320 cm (10.5 ft) tall, roughly the height of a giraffe or a single-story house. Its length, however, is much greater—around 12 meters (40 ft)—which is as long as a tennis court. This combination gives the bus a massive interior that can comfortably seat over 40 passengers, while still navigating urban streets.
