Caveat: Doubling Up

Lately, a new thing has been appearing on the wide avenues of Goyang: double-decker buses.

These seem only distantly related to the iconic double-deckers of London notoriety – I think they're a German make: M.A.N. Regardless, on certain highly traveled routes, like the 1100 (shown below) that connects Ilsan with Seoul Station (downtown), they're putting in an appearance. I expect once a domestic bus manufacturer (e.g. Hyundai) comes out with a model, they'll really take off. As an inveterate watcher of public transportation infrastructure, this is interesting for me.

The picture was taken on 중앙로 [Jungang-no = "Central Road"], just southeast of the Juyeop subway station, yesterday, as I walked home from work in the springtime drizzle.
