Single-decker
01
a type of bus that has only one floor
What is a "single-decker"?
A single-decker is a type of bus or coach that has only one level for passengers. It is designed to carry people on the main floor, without the additional space found on double-decker buses. Single-deckers are commonly used for public transportation, school routes, and short-distance travel, offering a simpler, more compact design compared to double-deckers. They are easier to navigate on narrow roads and can be more cost-effective to operate. Many cities use single-deckers for bus routes with fewer passengers or in areas where space is limited.
Examples
The single-decker bus arrived right on time to take passengers to the station.
We decided to ride the single-decker because it was less crowded than the double-decker.
