How many wheels does a double-decker bus have?

Do double-decker buses need more wheels to support them than normal buses do? I think it’s crazy that buses can be that tall, so I’m just wondering how exactly they work.

A double-decker bus typically has four
wheels
in total, just like a regular, single-decker bus does. Some of them may have six wheels, depending on the design, but the four-wheel design is much more common.
Double-decker buses are much more common in
Europe
, Asia, and some South American countries than they are in the United States. While some Megabus designs are double-decker, most buses in the U.S. only have one tier of seating.
