A copy of the Routemaster but all left hand drive. But shamefully there is no open platform at the back. The Wheels are right behind the cab. There is no cab door but you have to go inside the saloon of the bus to get into the cab. and one thing, the stairs are at the wrong place at the back where it suppose lead to the exit. you have to do a 180 turn to the left to get out. Here are the pictures. 3D Design of the Bus Front with the doors shown. The rear with the doors shown. The other side of the bus showing the windows the interior of the upper deck. (Credit to anyone that own the pictures) Tour of the interior of the bus. the bus in motion. (note the videos are in Macedonian) Well i heard there are about 200 of them being driven in Macedonia right now. But 15 of them are open toppers. And its Made in China. In my opinion, the design looks odd by having wheels behind the cab, the stairs are spiral like with the old London Buses, the rear stairs is at the wrong place where it suppost to lead to the exit. The cab door should be put outside the bus rather then the driver going inside the bus. I would imagne them right hand drive buses in London. So I give this bus 6/10.

But there are quite cheaper then the NB4L.

Whilst it is not a great looker, there is a bit of me that likes it a bit...maybe it is that 'ECW like' view with its similarity to the Lodekka/VRT rear....
Half cabs with a front overhang have been made before - most obvious being the Midland Red D9 - some of which (for those with long memories) ran on sightseeing for Obsolete Fleet & LT in the 1970s/early 1980s

is the front bonnet really have an engine inside it? Because the rear is big and have the engine there. So what's the point having the half cab since they put the engine at the rear, shouldn't they put another door at the front so the driver can check the tickets?
