Buses are wider than cars.
Just look at this picture they're clearly much wider. 
2x insulation, 2x windows motors, wider seats per person, and busses are actually noticeably wider than cars. Cars should take up between 1/2 and 2/3 of the lane they actually occupy, while busses and big rigs puch a lot closer to the actual width of a car lane.

tell that to the stupid F-150s. 2 Seats, no aisle, and subjectively wider than a bus
Between 1988 and now the f150 only increased in width by .9 of an inch. Parking spots are set by the size of the f150 because they are consistent and abundant.
Yeah but they were massive to start with, they've always been huge.
Europe has smaller parking spaces because Europe point blank refused to accommodate larger vehicles just because. The US is so obsessed with cars that the idea of going "no that thing is stupidly big we're not accommodating it", is not an acceptable thought.
Europe didn't refuse to accommodate larger vehicles. The simply couldn't. All the towns are significantly older than the oldest town in the USA. The town streets are narrower, and can't support the weight of larger vehicles. If there wasn't that constraint, there would be ltz suburbans everywhere.
That's because it has to accommodate wide arses. If you ever sit in one of their seats you just sort of get lost.
Imagine explaining euclidean shapes with it's wider, so it's wider' ...
But what the kid was asking is why arent cars designed to carry more people with all that wasted space & resources.
They weren't. They were a kid not an Internet hipster with no concept of delivery vehicles, disabled people, people with children or pets, people whose jobs and family lives require them to be able to leave and go somewhere at the drop of a hat, and people from tiny boutique nations founded before cars with excellent public transport that can quite easily get along without a car.
It would take me about 2.5 hours to get to work from home by bus. Each way. On a good day. With two transfers each way.
Almost there...
In case anybody’s curious, buses are generally much wider than cars (my local buses are 8’6”, compared to the 6’6” Honda Odyssey); their seats are also narrower and the walls thinner, which adds up to a lot of interior space.
You mean to tell me that the laws of physics don’t breakdown inside buses?
Yet, they ride on the same streets (for the most part). Fuck cars! Furthermore, oftentimes they only carry 1 person and create all the congestions..
They also have vertical walls instead of curved because maximizing interior space is more important than aerodynamics for them.
Two feet wider, but at least they don't need to park in conventional spots. Except shit like Escalades exist, which are close to 8' and are impossible to see around when I'm trying to back out of a spot.
I always love when I'm stuck between two small-penis-mobile trucks in a parking space.
Because thats not how it works at all, Busses are much wider than cars.
For now. Cars keep getting wider year over year until they hit legal limits.
ford coming out with a 2-seater "bus" so they can release a truck that's 14 feet off the ground and gets 4 gallons a mile
Ford has been making the f650 for over 20 years
Edit; it gets 6mpg btw
I don't think those are street legal in the US though. We have one at my work but it can only be used on private property.
They are designed specifically to be street legal commercial vehicles (aka no CDL required) in most US states.
I've seen a handful of them on the road over the years. There used to be a red one that must've been owned locally as I saw it a number of times.
I could be wrong. It might just be the one they have at my job isn't street legal, but maybe they are overall.
More like your states registration is by weight and your company ain't trying to pay that shit lol
That truck looks like shit with those wheels. Hell it would look like shit on any wheels
Edit: oh I see, it's supposed to be used for powerline maintenance with a lift installed in the back, not like a regular pickup
12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,

I also feel dumb now because of this child I've never met.
But now I'm flashbacking to being on a schoolbus and holy fuck those walls are thin.
those walls are thin.
I’ve seen pictures of buses that accidentally fall off a steep road or cliff and basically fold like a flattened cardboard box.
I think most vehicles would have a pretty rough go of it if they fell off of a cliff though, especially if they turned upside down.
Smaller seats and slightly wider both sides.
But could it be twice as wider on one side, and not wider on the other?
Some buses have 2 seats on one side and only a row of single seats on the other side of the aisle, probably because they made that side not was wide as the other 🤔
