   I suspect that most transit buses and maybe now the standard over the   
   road bus is 102 inches wide as opposed to 96 inches wide for the   
   original design.  This means 9 inches clearance on each side in a 10   
   foot lane.  Even with a 12 inch clearance, would you want to drive a   
   bus in the Lincoln Tunnel?
