Here most buses are one floor only. There are a few double-floor buses but they are for tourists mainly. Now I learned that there are even three-floor buses but they are in India. That's so cool. I wonder whether I will feel a little scared to sit in third floor because of the height.

In England double-decker buses are common. They pass my window five or six times an hour every day. Sadly, the picture you show of a triple-decker is a phoroshopped fake (people can get very clever with digital manipulation)! Although some buses have been made with a raised portion at the back (mostly for scenic viewing and tourism), the only real triple-decker ever made was the Night Bus for one of the Harry Potter films. The following website explains more:

A Brief History of Triple-Decker Buses

The first motorized double-decker buses were introduced in 1923, and it was only three years later, in 1926, that the <a href=http://hoaxes.org/af_database/permalink/triple_decker_city_bus

@youless We have them in Cambridge, too (and many other cities, of course) but mostly they aren't red. When I was a kid (and sometimes when not so much a kid!), I used to race to get the seat at the front on the top deck! We have tourist buses in Cambridge where the top deck is open. Only advisable to go up there in good weather!

The red double-decker buses in London are famous. I remember it in the Olympic London opening

It seems this news is not very new

Three students from Meerut have designed a three-floor bus and are looking for help to start production. In the 11 feet high vehicle that can seat 100 passengers, one floor could be reserved for women, one of the designers told Asad Ashraf

@kepweng Not only under bridges, but where trees are plenty, then it will be a hindrance.

I feel you, buses can totally topple down and being on the 3rd floor would be so scary. Our buses here are only 1 floor too, but i've ridden a 2 floor bus in Hong Kong to the airport.

Yes, I also took the 2 floor bus to Hong Kong airport. It is a long way in my opinion but I enjoyed the sightseeing since we were in the front from 2nd floor

We have several kind of buses, some small for the steep roads of the mountains and some double-deck, like the one in the photo. The color of our buses is yellow with the postal symbol on the side.

@LadyDuck That is very high-tech to be without a driver. I am sure my son loves to try it

It never existed in my country because there were too many bridges that could only be passed by a double-floor bus.

Here in the big cities the buses are quite new and good. It is very convenient to go anywhere by the bus and the public transportation is good. But it is not the same in the countryside.

Mostly one deck buses here, but there are double decker tour buses in some larger cities that have open air decks on top.

I catch a double decker bus to work every day! I like to sit at the top because you are able to see so much. There are no triple decker buses as they would be too unstable plus they would not go under many bridges or railway lines. Even the double deckers sometimes hit things when the driver has not paid attention to the height restrictions!

Wow, a triple decker bus! Most buses in the U.S. have just one level. Tour buses are sometimes 2 levels. I agree that I would be a little worried if I was sitting on the top level
