These things *are* used for tourist purposes in both London and

is just for appearance purposes on those)


The DUKWs's hull is most certainly not just for appearances. They're
WW2 amphibious trucks, designed for use when bridges have been, umm,
made unavailable by their previous owners, and for beach landings.

This bus thing is a completely different vehicle.
