The buses could have falcon wing doors, just like the Model X: http://i.imgur.com/40o2Uvd.jpg

I'm not seeing it. That seems like a lot of doors to build.
Or one big door for the entire side of the bus…
Either way it'd be a lot heavier than the one, two or three doors that buses have these days. But then, weight probably won't be that big of a factor given how it'd need to have a floor full of batteries anyway.
But then half you lose easy access for the half of seats not on the sidewalk side. There's not a good way to lose the aisle without condensing down to only a couple seats across.
