No, not really. They're mostly built to compare with my 4-wide cars. (I
have some taxicabs and other city vehicles.) I'm worried that they'll look
out-of-scale with my buildings, since the busses are almost a full baseplate
long. (I think they're about 28 studs...) I was planning on making a
cityscape with a bit more "scaled down" look to it so that I could get more
detail into a smaller space. Eg, build a brownstone 10 studs wide instead
of 16. But that would make the bus look too big. *shrug* I guess I'll have
to see how things turn out.

Well, if you think about the math, a regular Lego car only sits 1 person
across instead of 2. I guess, then, it's okay if you make a bus that sits 2
across instead of 4. That 2x ratio always gets me... for example, the bus
front door: because the people are twice as wide as they would be relative
to a real bus, it makes the door wider, and the front wheel looks like it's
back too far.
Well, I guess that's all just part of the "cute" factor of lego structures. :)
