I built a New Flyer Industries C40LFR, which is a bus in service with multiple agencies across North America. I ride one twice a day. Its a new redesigned version of the C40LF. I couldn't build the tires because they were looking a little blocky, for lack of a better word. So, I disregarded the chassis and wheels and such and just got to work on the body. I built an interior as well, even with railings to hold on to, and doors that open and close. Some things were difficult because of Blockland's limitations, but here are some pics.

Not bad Pilot, I like it! :)

The back seems a little plain, but looks good other than that!

I had to reduce the number of blocks I used for the back, I finished it running Blockland in Linux under Wine. So it was pretty laggy.

At first I thought from "flyer" that you were trying to make a plane or spaceship.
Then I read and it actually looks pretty cool as either a bus or tram. A bit more complexity to the overall shape wouldn't hurt, but it's not bad.

Exterior really isn't doing it for me, but I love the interior.

You should make it a bit more detailed, like different color designs etc.

New Flyer's the name of the bus manufacturer, lol. And I might just let Heitmeyer use it as a tram, he has a small build of the Atlanta Streetcar next to it and multiple people thought it was for that.

There were multiple things I wanted to do with the exterior, but didn't really have the bricks to do it. Like, for example, I wanted the walls to slant just a little like the real thing, but there isn't a brick for that. There also isn't a brick for the one-brick windshield I wanted. The back needs more work, and the railings probably should've used pipes or something. I've been thinking of painting it in a few liveries, like the ones of MTA or MTS.

New railings, using pipe bricks.
