1980s double-deck bus


You may occasionally see them around Mall of Asia Arena, but double-deck buses are still a rarity in the country’s capital. In the 1980s, however, these giant vehicles usually plied the routes around EDSA, with a capacity that we could only wish for today’s Manila buses.

With a price tag of 1 million pesos, the Leyland Atlantean double-deck bus could accommodate up to 100 passengers, 62 of them on the upper deck. They were ordered from a British company as part of the initiative of the Metro Manila Transit Corporation (MMTC).
