I don't know, but why do some cities use them? I assume to seat more people maybe? Would triple-decker buses every be a possibility, or would they be too dangerous? Maybe US people think double-deckers are too dangerous - more likely to tip over or something? (just speculating)

Too much rebuild of infrastructure required (powerlines, phone lines, bridges and all)

I saw a double-decker bus in Vegas the last time I was there.

Link for proof

Todays question...
How come US cities do not use double decker buses?

1) prevalence of obesity
2) too many low overpasses
3) they are ugly
4) gas mileage
5) individuality
6) no nostalgia for the UK in the 70's
7) lack of auctions on eBay
8) don't know

Hopefully, there is an option that you can consider!

They have double-decker tour buses in New York..and probably other cities, too.
