3 Duoble decker buses
Different double-decker buses can carry different numbers of passengers. If all the passengers were to be seated, you would need 13889 London red buses. Of course, a single double-decker bus, over its lifetime, will carry a million (or more) passengers.
In some cases it may be possible by using comparisons, but that depends on the readers being familiar with the concepts. You could say "it fell from the height of a double-decker bus" but that statement would have no meaning to someone who had never seen a double-decker bus. And what would you do if it fell from twice that height? You could not say 2 double-decker buses because that is using a number (2).
