Now quite the same thing, but there are trains on the Continent with seats
on three levels (downstairs, upstairs, and a middle level at the ends over
the wheels), and I suppose a bus could be arranged in a similar manner if
someone thought of a reason to bother.

The trains you are thinking of are common in Europe, USA, Canada, China (I
think), at least.

They are, however, only double deckers in practice. The middle levels are
only over the wheels and are usually used for entrance/exit and standing
customers only (there may be tip up emergency seats in some instances),
there is still only room for two sets of seated passengers even within other
countries extended loading gauges.

Closest to triple decker might be some of the older dome observation coaches
in the USA & Canada - ISTR that some had short domes with passenger seating
on the normal level and in the dome with a buffet & crew quarters at low
level under the dome. The full length domes used on the trans-continental
Canadian have the buffet & a gift shop plus crew quarters under the dome,
but do not, IIRC, have anything on the middle level apart from the corridor
connection and doors.
