An open top bus is a bus, usually but not exclusively a double-decker bus, where all or part of the roof has been removed to provide fresh air and uninterrupted views from a high viewpoint. ==Use== Until the 1920s most, if not all, double-decker buses were constructed with no roof on the upper deck, and were the original "open-toppers". Open-top buses are now primarily used as tour buses for sightseeing in cities, or around rural monuments or areas of special interest. These often include specialist information equipment, and colourful liveries illustrating the route. Open-top buses are used in some regions on regular public transport transit bus services, in warm climates, or as seasonal services in temperate climates. Seasonal services are often in seaside towns, or along rural or coastal routes of particular scenic quality. Open-top buses are often used for victory parades for sport teams, and as temporary viewing platforms at events such as the Epsom Derby. Vintage open-toppers can also be hired for events such as weddings. They may be used by notable people in a parade to ensure maximum visibility; this may be a security concern as with open-top cars; in 2009 an open-top bus carrying the Dutch Royal Family was attacked by an assailant. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「open top bus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
