Double deckers I’ve seen have just one narrow staircase. You can’t have people go up and down at the same time. Through a door you can move some people in and out at the same time, however it’s rude, but since it’s a door and not a lengthy corridor, you can easily have a group of people go out, let new passengers in, and get in again.
can't they just widen the staricase to match the space in the aisle. Aisles in city buses tend to be very narrow too making ppl bunch up near the driver if one person is standing in aisle in a awkward way. Ppl also bunch up near the driver because if someone has stop coming up they dont want to traverse all the way to the back and then travese out to the door. Some ppl are also anxious about get 'stuck' in middle and missing their stop.
Because they're longer, you can fit more doors on the side. If you allow all-door boarding, it's faster.
