Have you never been outside the US?

This is an explanation why the dumbass bus is shaped like it is, not whether it's safer thaan the conventional bus designs, that the rest of the world uses.

Saying this can't get over bumps or make tight turns is just being stuck up your own ass.

The US has busses like that too. They drive bus routes that keep them on the main roads, instead of going into all the residential backroads and side streets where they would get stuck. Do you think buses just drive whatever route they want, without any forethought? Actual planning goes into that route, not just for getting people from A to B, but also for ensuring the bus is physically able to fit. And school busses simply use different dimensions, to be able to expand their potential routes.

Wait, are you saying the US roads are too narrow for that type of bus?

The US just cannot use a metric bus! It's not compatible!
