Actually, no, the windows are actually open holes... they're framed by 1x1
black bricks on the side, a 1x2 plate on the top, and a 1x2 tile on the

Not yet.  Right now the busses are mostly "hollow", but later this week I

The MCI "express" busses have traditional high-back seating, and all the

see what i come up with.

Near the doors, the GMC "local" busses have seating similar to a subway car,
with the backs against the wall.   So I'll have to play with ideas for that too.
