Default Very, Very Cool Bus

En route to the 2012 Classic Le Mans our group stopped for a visit to Mont Saint Michel; the abbey is itself very impressive, but the Contrac Cobus Industries double-ended buses used to ferry tourists along the causeway are pretty cool!



They appear as though they were designed by the Wally boat people, but apparently not; a German company worked on the project with Contrac.

I definitely see some Apple industrial design influence - especially the curved corners and the roof which looks like the sides of a large iPhone...

Nice.

Apple's lawyers no doubt on their way already..

“This kind of blatant copying is wrong and, as we've said many times before, we need to protect Apple's intellectual property when companies steal our ideas.”

Wouldn't the wood grain go out of line when the wheels rotate.....?

Sorry, my mind sometimes!
