Metro Manila Transit Corporation Double-Decker Bus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Metro Manila double-decker bus was employed in the 1980s on EDSA. The model most used was the Leyland Atlantean, a double-decker bus chassis manufactured by Leyland between 1958 and 1986. Leyland pioneered the design of rear-engined, front entrance double deck buses in the United Kingdom, allowing for the introduction of one-man operation buses, dispensing with the need for a conductor.

Presently, double-decker buses are used by the Mall of Asia Arena (Higher KLQ6119GSE3 B91H-series) and the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (King Long XMQ6110GS). Former operators were Matorco, which introduced such buses to the Philippines, and the Metro Manila Transit Corporation (Leyland Atlantean).
