  Could a duoble decker articulated bus be made? Is it possible? I've been thinking about this for a very long time......

  IMHO, it is possible, but the trailer still has to be single deck.
  
  The trailer could be double deck if it has dual axles (one at each end of trailer), but that would pose an engineering nightware for the turntable as the upper deck turntable would be compressed more than lower deck during turns as well as steering mechanism.

  It'd be very dangerous, with a high risk of jacknifing.

  Is it possible if 'Der-bus' is to be converted into a City-bus? It seems like a low-floor bus...If SBS or SMRT were to buy this bus, I would be the 1st member of public to ride it

  The Germans never fail to impress, do they? I would like to ride on one of those. I suggest introducing a ride on this bus as a segment in an episode of Fear Factor.
  
  Oh, BTW, I'm new here. I am really glad to see a forum just on Singapore buses!
  
  Thanks,

  That's why I enjoy German buses. Can't say the same for a particular Swedish brand though.

  Actually a bus like Der-Bus can be modified with the latest technology and who knows? they might be on the roads around the world.
