New York City Transit officials unveiled a new behemoth double-decker bus today that will cruise city streets in a 30-day trial run. The two-story vehicles have not been in wide use for everyday public transit since 1953. Beginning on Thursday, the 13-foot-tall, 45-foot-long, 81-seat bus will alternate service on local and express bus routes. The MTA plans to talk with the driver and passengers to gauge how the bus handles in city traffic and how customers react. NYT City Room
