US president Barack Obama has a new vehicle in his parking lot. a sparkling black bus that will carry the US President in his nationwide tour. The bus built by a Canadian coach builder Prevost, is very much similar to the Cadillac limousine used by Obama.

The bus costs a whopping $1.1 million (nearly Rs.5 Crores) and is equipped with puncture proof tyres. It is also bullet proof and bomb proof. While the Cadillac is a limousine with several advanced technologies and communication systems, the Obama bus gets much more. It has a living room for the president, a rest room, office space along with communication equipment and even a blood bank.

This million dollar bus is being used by Obama on his nation wide tour as he battles reducing popularity scores. The US Secret Service has got two such buses one for the current President Obama and the second one for the 2012 Republican presidential nominee.

President Obama will be followed by a convoy over a dozen security vehicles whenever he travels in the presidential bus.
