	The Volvo B7R - Business Standard Motoring (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		But the problem is most buses in India are built from truck chassis and that means passengers are treated like cargo – imagine travelling in a goods train and you get the picture.
		Now these buses are expensive (we will come to the price soon) and what Volvo has to sell to Indian operators is a concept similar to what is prevalent in the aviation industry – the more buses on the road, the more the profitability and hence, longer intervals between engine overhauls.
		That also means Volvo buses will adhere to clockwork schedules similar to long-distance trains and aeroplane services, and the engine also allows for quick acceleration and retardation even in traffic conditions.

	Bus at Efari United Kingdom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In buses meant for public transport, luggage space is often sacrificed in order to increase passenger capacity, although the exterior is only slightly smaller than that of a tourist bus.
		Some models of articulated buses have a steering arrangement on the rearmost axle which turns slightly in opposition to the front steering axle, which allows the vehicle to negotiate turns in a somewhat crab-like fashion, an arrangement similar to that used on long hook-and-ladder fire trucks operating in city environs.
		These buses are also the ones that many London operators are using to replace the AEC Routemaster, a bus which has been the sight on London for around 50 years.
