I present the opportunity for a combination of the MTA Bus and the Double Decker Tour bus to help handle the increase in capacity requirements resulting from the removal of the fares.

As fares are removed from the MTA, the ridership will rise immensely. In order to maintain efficient service we need two things, more buses, and more bus capacity per unit. To accomplish these goals I have come to a distinct design solution which uses the company Rivian and the MTA.

Since we will need new buses, I believe that Rivian could play a pivotal role in manufacturing a double decker articulating MTA bus specifically for use in the borough of Manhattan. This would not only increase bus route capacity in Manhattan but allow for the current Manhattan fleet of buses to be dispatched to other boroughs to handle the increase in capacity. 

Rivian is a perfect company for this purpose as their experience in supplying Amazon DSP and revolutionizing the electric truck industry lends to a robust and reliable potential platform for the MTA.
