In addition, Caesar has spent half a million dollars building an experimental double-decker bus, the first for long haul, express runs. Worked out with Designer Loewy, it will be only 18 inches higher than present buses and no longer. But the tricky new seat arrangement will permit 13 more passengers to be carried, 50 v. 37 in present buses. It also has a washroom, toilet, water cooler, may even carry a hostess. The driver sits in a special clearview compartment between the two decks. It will start on its shakedown cruises this summer. If the trial runs suit Caesar, the bus may go into production next year.
