Did Jeep ever build a bus?

Kinda, only it wasn't Jeep. Search for Jeepney.

The one in that link, though, is as thoroughly amphibious as if it had snorkels welded on....

Or you could watch the water level at the back, since that's where the engine actually is.

Ive done that a few times in the F150. My question is for the smart guy that decided to pull over and park... on the rail system.

Thje easy explanation? It's his last trip. At the end of the video you see two more buses sitting at the waters edge. They are probably early into their day. A bus will ford some impressive water as the intake and exhaust are normally by the roof, but if it is the low floor type there will be a lot of wet feet. My old depot in flushing had some flooding problems at the entrance, though not that bad you could sometimes have water up to the second step.

And to answer the original question. While Jeep didn't build a bus, from 74 to 79 AM General built two buses. The pictured 40' bus in a partnership with Flyer Buses of Canada, and a 60' Artic from parts supplied by MAN of Germany.
