I was watching a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! cut of Autobahn, when I spotted something very odd - a three wheeled streamliner bus. WAT. In case I was mistaken, I bumped a few seconds, into the crossfade. Nope, definitely a three wheeler, and I have no idea what it is:

This has me very intrigued. I put a few inquiries out, so we'll see if anything comes of it. Never seen it before, I don't think, and I love weird especially if it only has 3 wheels.

I had it running while I was doing something else, and suddenly caught "three wheeled bus lol" out of the corner of my eye. Immediate response was kind of "what in fuck!?"

The first person I showed it to was convinced it was just an optical illusion and it really has 4 wheels, but after watching it 100 times, I'm convinced it's a 3-wheeler. It kind of looks Stout Scarab inspired. It's probably a custom body, but I wonder what the chassis is. The Goliath/Hansa 3-wheeled trucks had the single wheel up front.

Yeah, the vast majority of GIS results for three-wheeled bus were eastern trike type stuff, which coincidentally owes a lot to the Goliath - some Indian three-wheelers are pretty much direct copies. In short, Google has failed me on this one.

Looks somewhat like a Buckminster Fuller streamliner.
