Have you ever seen a boatbus?
You mean a ferry?
No no no, boatbus.

I raise you the Ikarus 260. Still in service for whatever fucking reason.
Also works as an electric bus since the 80s. This one is the maintenance service special.
Also, as a train apparently.
I think Tom Scott did a video about a japanese bus that can drive to the train track and transform into a train and use the track.

I was one of those millions. The great thing was that it was not only the main arteries, Budapest for example has literally hundreds of lines that were served by 260s and 280s, and while they weren't the most comfortable rides compared to models that were 30 years younger, the very fact that you could get shitfaced in downtown Budapest and get home safely with one of these to your home in the middle of nowhere even late at night, no matter where from, no matter where to, was awesome. All for the price of like 15 EUR a month, with unlimited rides.
Same with countryside buses, you can get from any small village to any other small village pretty easily and the network is still reasonably dense despite the people running it being equally very dense.
No I'm sorry but public transit can only function in ultra dense urban cores. You're eityer mistaken and actually just drove drunk or are lying.

This sounds incredibly Japanese.
I raise you an amphibious sightseeing bus in Budapest that has regular service:

Absolutely adore these. The UAZ-452. Nicknamed Buhanka, Russian for ‘loaf of bread’ since it exactly looks like one. This version was introduced in 1965, but there’s a predecessor dating back to 1958.
They actually do still make modern versions of these, complete with upgrades like a better, cleaner engine, ABS brakes and seatbelts. It’s the oldest still in production vehicle.

Snow runner is so awesome
I’ve got hundreds of hours in it.Though honestly, the loaf isn’t as useful or customisable as I’d like it to be.

Yay, another Snowrunner player!
I disagree about the Loaf, I've used it a lot - almost as much as the Fleetstar

For scouts, I usually default to the Land Rover 90. But most gameplay time is spent in the TUZ Acteon or Bandit. And if it absolutely, positively needs to get there… Mastodon, obviously.

I don't have the Land Rover DLC, lol ... I found the Acteon was fun, but the switchable suspension wasn't as useful as it should be. Very pretty little truck though, I always go for small and cute over the big stuff when I can!
I never took to the Bandit for some reason, can't remember why now ... maybe fuel capacity?

You likely didn’t use the Bandit (much) because it’s got a tendency to roll over every time it encounters the slightest bit of hill. It’s the truck equivalent of a puppy, eagerly looking for belly rubs. And usually at the second to last corner to your destination…
I like it for it’s versatility, but it takes a fair bit of self control to drive it well without tipping it.

Nah, once I read about moving the crane to allow chassis flex I had zero problems with rollovers ... having thought more on it, it was the towing options combined with the fuel capacity (even with the roofrack fully stocked)
