A $392,000 luxury coach designed for Dracula sightseeing tours might never get to be used for its purposes after it was found out to be too big to get enter the city gates.

[MTI, AHN] Officials in the City of Brasov were too embarrassed after constructing the doubledecker coach much higher than 10-foot high medieval gates at the old center of of the city.

City officials said they had the coach built to boost their economy by attracting more tourists to the city.

"Unbelievably nobody ever thought to measure the gates and compare it with the height of the bus," a Brasov councilor remarked. "It's a complete waste of money. We have no idea what to do now."

The City of Brasov is adjacent to the Bran Castle widely believed to have been the home of Vlad the Impaler - the inspiration for Dracula.
