You're talking about the MCI busses though, right? With the fold down cots and such?

Slept in one of those during a SAR incident that ran into a 2nd op period. Surprisingly cozy, though I'm sure it is not as pretty when it is filled with 20 trauma vics.

The posted bus seems more like 1st class on a plane, and certainly less efficient. Then again, it looks like the purpose is more-efficient IFT, not MCI.

Yeah, the Multi-Patient Vehicles (designated MPVs) are primarily for MCIs. They are most certainly not designed for comfort.
