Yes, from what I observed, most buses are fitted with EDS with the exception of some older buses which still use "plastic destos". IIRC, the EDS usually applies only to the front whereas the side (one section above the door or beside the door) and the rear (usually at the engine cover) still use "plastic destos".

In Taiwan most tour buses are double-decker buses because the lower saloon is meant for luggages. The upper saloon is then meant for passenger sitting. Usually one bus like those above weighs about 16-19 tonnes, and carry about 42-46 passengers. Most buses were re-bodied (i.e. Original bodywork meant for SD torn down and re-built as DD) thus many of them lack the power needed to drive the bus up treacherous mountain roads due to the extra weight. The 3rd photo (Scania DD registered in TaiPei PP-041) is an example of such a bus that is really slow on the roads...

Sorry, don't know. These photos were snapped as I went along my trip... so very little chance to do "bus inspection".

Original DD chassis in Taiwan is uncommon, but the tour bus I sat on for the entire trip is an example of such a bus...

Taken at Grand Hotel （圆山大饭店）, TaiPei （台北）

TaiPei registered A4-091, 1999 Mitsubishi Fuso Twin-axle.
Unladen weight 17 tonnes, able to carry 43 passengers. 350 horsepower rating, max speed the bus hit on the expressway was 140kph.

All DD buses in Taiwan are classified as A-class vehicles （甲类大客车）.

It should be alternate unless you kena the suay slot where there are 2 Ts together. 2 or 3 Ts together only happens when S/E/T Shift are doing it's last trip or buses going to have meal break.
