Bus with a low floor construction

摘要

A bus (1) has a low floor (3) to facilitate the stepping in and stepping out of passengers. The steerable front wheels (5) are near the front of the bus and are fastened to the bodywork (9) by means of a front wheel suspension (11). The driver's seat (13) is located partly above the wheel suspension. Just behind one of the front wheels (15) is located an entry door (15) with a low entry space (17) beside it. The low entry space (17) extends to beside the driver's seat (13) and is free of obstacles along a flowing or straight line from the entry door (15) to beside the driver's seat. This allows good stepping in and out of the bus and good accessibility of the chauffeur, such that the communication possibilities with the chauffeur are improved. <IMAGE>
