D&D (2024) Eberron - skycoaches and bastions

[JConstantine]

Sure, there would be a wide variety of sizes and models for different functions: taxis, buses, trucks etc. However, the rowboat sized vehicle in the art seems appropriate for a taxi. 40 ft. Is definitely bus or HGV sized though. A London Double Decker is 36 ft.

I agree with multiple types of skycoach for different functions, but I'd treat the one in question like a people carrier/MPV.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of a skycoach with seating (or even a driver, for that matter)!

Now that you mention it, I can't recall one either. I've always treated them like a gondola, though.

People carriers are more like 20 ft. Long. Does no one have an idea of size round here!?

I'm aware, and I noted the map in question makes it the length of a bus. But based on D&D's 5ft square grid, it's occupancy is more like a people carrier in function.

Practical, and game practical are far apart. If everyone needs a 5ft square to use, only like 8 people can fit, then add some room for having a cool combat and such. Otherwise, I recall the Army Blue-Bird busses fitting like 80 people with gear.

People carriers don't fly either, and don't need to be represented in 5 feet increments. People are trying to use real vehicles as references and not perfectly trying to simulate them.
