I would like to hear about them

@djsundog Not quite the same thing, but the Makermobile runs classes for kids and travels around British Columbia: makermobile.org

@erinbee @djsundog in many British towns there is something called a "playbus". Perhaps we should have that but for adults too 😁

@djsundog @erinbee

this is my towns official playbus. Often the bus itself is of interest to spotters as its usually a preserved service bus from about 20-30 years ago (but repainted in bright colours)

Old buses aren't expensive, but the driver *does* usually need a special type of driving license in most countries due to their size and/or the number of passengers (even if not strictly public transport), I think they get retired town drivers to volunteer for this.

@vfrmedia @erinbee see, stuff like that is awesome. we need more of it!

@djsundog @vfrmedia @erinbee In the US if you register it as an RV, it doesn't require a CDL. There are some requirements you have to fulfill in order to be able to register as an RV but I am pretty sure the modifications to build a playbus would cover it.
