bus made from 1991 to 2013
vs bus made from 1989 to 2001 (but design is pretty much from early 1980s)

conclusion: america bus ugly asf
europe stay winning
photo of New Flyer Low Floor bus, it has narrow doors and big gaps between rounded rectangle windows, front window is made of two rounded rectangles, with large gap in between, making it look much older than it is
photo of MAN NL222 bus, it has quite wide doors and almost no gaps between windows, front window is also made of one glass panel

@jeder i wonder if it is because they're working on an existing frame instead of EU busses that are in high enough demand to allow for custom frames

(see e.g. school busses in the US, as a counterpoint to US busses sucking, they clearly can do it)

@eater funnily enough, MAN NL202 is just a derivation of earlier Standard Bus which was high-floor, and all they did here is just make it low-floor

@eater like, the reason why all of the european buses still look pretty much the same with some differences is because a bunch of germans in 1960s decided to create a standard for how should buses look and work

like, it's weird to think that the bus on the left and buses like Mercedes Citaro or MAN Lion's City were sold at the same time on different continents

@jeder insane that the European bus still looks relatively good (even by today’s standards) and the US bus looks like shit even in the context of it’s release date
