I quite like the look, but wonder if the engine has enough space? It appears to be under the rear staircase, but there doesn't seem to be enough room for a hybrid engine (ie, lots of batteries) with adequate cooling. The last thing we want is another self-immolating bus! |

Those doors and stairwells take space. I can see seating for the elderly and infirm being limited. |

At least it isn't a pastiche, like the competition entires, although the rear dome looks rather exaggerated to me, something like the Viberti double deckers Turin used in the 1960s. |
