While in Peru, here's an interesting page (w/photos and maps) of the long-delayed Lima Metro system, now finally in operation (rolling stock reminds me of contemporary Japanese electric MU equipment)......

Three-axle double deckers have been quite popular with Chinese toy companies for a number of years now (I have a number, and also have ONE plastic four-axle double decker that my (late) best buddy found at a market stall in Lima, while visiting his wife's family, some years back!
