And i watch it, and then i pause it for something or other, and then i double take, and full-screen, and ENHANCE! and then i see it.

That right there my friends is a pretty old school Ikarus bus, a 250. A huge part of Hungarian folklore from the 1980s.

Kinja'd!!!

Manual door says this is a travel coach model, and an early one at that - the airport version on this second picture already has air-operated doors. These buses were pretty modern when new, and came in every possible form and setup (maybe not double decker), so were successfully sold all over the globe. I think some even made it to the USA, but most were taken up by 2nd and 3rd world countries, on either side of the Iron Curtain. For example when I was in Greece some 20 years ago, the city transport utility in Athens used Ikarus 250s.

And now so does the Avengers prop brigade. Cool.
