This is the modern New Routemaster, not the shorter classic AEC Routemaster. Loading and suspension position can change its roof height; the selected value preserves the unladen maximum qualification.
The roof of the two-deck bus sets the vertical marker. At 4.42 meters, this unladen maximum is just over three times the selected 1.435-meter Corolla sedan reference. Mirrors affect overall width, while the three passenger doors and rear staircase identify the modern bus configuration.
