The Double Decker's performance is actually poorer than that of the [[Coach]] in GTA 1, but exactly the same as the Coach and its [[Tour Bus|open top variant]] in GTA London 1969. Being the one of the heaviest vehicles in the game (the same weight as GTA 1 and GTA London 1969's Coaches and the [[Tour Bus]]), the bus is predictably slow, with a very poor top speed but average acceleration. The bus also possess below average grip and handling, and average braking. Although game files reveal the bus has a lucrative base export value of £1,000, the Double Decker cannot be exported due to its large size. | The Double Decker's performance is actually poorer than that of the [[Coach]] in GTA 1, but exactly the same as the Coach and its [[Tour Bus|open top variant]] in GTA London 1969.
