  I say it's quite difficult to answer your questions, as it's potentially very broad !
  
  But very roughly, the rigid citybuses here around 12 m length by 2.5 m width while articulated models around 18 m length. That's based on the bus-chassi part of the bus as there's many bodybuilders here when looking @ the scene which includes the tour, school bus besides the public transport operators !

  Hi, can anyone share how buses are "born", that is, from selection of chassis, bodyworks to seats? Thanks.

  whats overhang?
• The_Bus_Guide

  Front overhang: Length before the front axle.
  Rear overhang: Length after the rear axle.
  Wheelbase: Length between front and rear axles.
  
  Add these 3 up and you'll get the overall length.
