Bus force one

The National Post has a short article on the new high-tech Secret Service-commissioned bus that President Obama is using on the campaign trail for re-election. The bus is all-black with blacked-out windows and a bullet-proof exterior and enough high-tech communications equipment to serve as a base camp for the Secret Service (in some ways, it’s similar to the President’s Cadillac).
The bus is projected to provide 10 years of service to any President and to any Presidential nominee. There are currently 2 available with an estimated build cost of $1.1 million. Cool, I really like the all-black exterior.
Gawker has another photo and here’s a link to a video if you want to see it
PS: “Bus Force One” is not the official name of this vehicle. That sounds absolutely ridiculous.
