Sometimes you have to think inside the box

I designed two cube-shaped papercraft buses whose designs are based on buses operated by Qbuzz, a Dutch public transport company whose name sounds like (but isn’t) a portmanteau of “cube” and “bus”.

That’s it. That’s the whole article.

You can use the papercraft templates below to build your own cube buses. There are no instructions, but I’m sure you can figure it out.

You might be able to spot a more practical version of this bus in South Holland.
